I saw it at UCLA once about 20 years ago.<BR/><BR/>So, Lon, how about a mini-review providing your rationale for why you consider "The Yakuza" unwatchable? I liked it. It's not a great film, but I liked it.<BR/><BR/>If you're going to write any reviews, I'd like to read ones where you go against the grain and explain why you don't like certain films that are considered classics or that have remained very popular years after their release.Peter L.

Do you remember the film lecture Godard gives in the middle of Notre Musique? Shot reverse-shot, fiction and documentary? This movie is the reverse-shot of Fires on the Plain. It's one of the more fascinating docs I've seen in years. The description I've been using is that it's Michael Moore meets Charles Bronson. Let me know if you find this justified.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
