Criterion Collection # 038
http://www.criterion.com/films/576
Release Date: February 23, 1999
Director: Seijun Suzuki
Description: Branded to Kill, the wildly perverse story of the yakuza's rice-sniffing 'No. 3 Killer,' is Seijun Suzuki at his delirious best. From a cookie-cutter studio script, Suzuki delivered this brutal, hilarious, and visually inspired masterpiece -- and was promptly fired. Criterion presents the DVD premiere of Branded to Kill in a pristine transfer from the original Nikkatsu-scope master.

Branded to Kill
by John Zorn Feb 22, 1999
Flipping around the channels of late-night TV in my Tokyo apartment in 1984 I came across what seemed like a B movie from the '60s. The studio: Nikkatsu. The star: Joe Shishido. The director: Seijun Suzuki. I was not at all prepared for what I was about to see.
