My face red in the sunset, aka Killers on parade

My face red in the sunset, aka Killers on parade

(Yûhi ni akai ore no kao)

Masahiro Shinoda

  • 1961
  • Japan
  • Police
  • 1h22mn
  • Original version with English subtitles
  • Color
A team of hitmen aims to kill a troublesome reporter... who herself asks a hitman to protect her.
This early work, Shinoda’s most pop, races wildly into absurd humor and a motley carnival of Color. But don’t be mistaken, like a frantic comic book, this noir musical, Shinoda’s second collaboration with Terayama, is much more than eye candy, and constitutes an aesthetic anarchist manifesto.
