Sinopsis: Un asesino del crimen organizado es contratado para llevar a cabo una misión. Es conocido como el Número 3, y pronto se verá en vuelto en una especie de conspiración en la que están metidos una extraña y fascinante mujer, y más asesinos. La caza comienza, y enseguida sabremos quién es el Número 1 de la Organización, todo un ejemplo a seguir, y sobre el que algunos incluso aseguran que no existe, que es un invento para meter miedo. (FILMAFFINITY)
Un pistolero llamado Hanada Goro es el mejor de su profesión caracterizado por su habilidad con el arma. Un día, la enigmática y bella Misako le encargará una importante misión.
Correcto análisis y retrato de un sicario interpretado por Jo Shishido. Seijun Suzuki lleva la batuta de una manera muy personal. La anécdota del film es que despidieron al director porque hizo demasiados cambios en el guión (
DeCine21).
AMG SYNOPSIS: A delirious fever dream of a film, Seijun Suzuki's Branded to Kill takes the familiar elements of "B"-movie crime drama and transforms them into something outrageously bizarre and unexpectedly poetic. The film's story centers on Hanada, a.k.a. "No. 3 Killer," the third-best hit man in Japanese organized crime. Near the top of his game, his fortunes change when he encounters Misako, a mysterious, death-obsessed woman who brings him a particularly difficult mission. In a famous moment indicative of the film's eccentric sensibility, a butterfly lands on his gun's sight at the exact moment he pulls the trigger, causing him to miss the shot. This failure means that the killer becomes the target, and must run for his life from his former employers, and the mysterious "No. 1 Killer." While the film does contain some spectacular action sequences, the story is played less as a suspense thriller than as a surrealistic, psychosexual nightmare, filled with grotesque imagery and strange touches, such as Misako's use of a dead bird's corpse as a rear-view mirror decoration, and his almost fetishistic fixation with the smell of boiling rice. Indeed, the narrative is at times so fragmented that it is often difficult to decipher exactly what is happening; however, the striking black-and-white cinematography and avant-garde editing provide the film with a dream logic all its own. Now considered by many critics a maverick classic comparable to the works of Samuel Fuller or Jean-Luc Godard, the film was less well received at the time of its original release, with its utter strangeness leading to director Suzuki's firing from the Nikkatsu studio and the near destruction of his career. -- Judd Blaise
AMG REVIEW: Like an unholy marriage of Goldfinger (1964) and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919), Branded to Kill is a brilliantly weird reductio ad absurdum of the Japanese gangster flick that still manages to shock, thrill, and entertain. Director Seijun Suzuki presents a hallucinatory ultra-hip world of compulsive sex, frenzied violence, and boiling rice, held together with only the barest attention to logic or narrative coherence. Marked by Pop Art aesthetics, loopy cinematic devices, and disorienting leaps of narrative, it leaves the viewer breathless with its sheer stylistic invention. Yet Branded almost ended Suzuki's career. Executives at Nikkatsu Studios were already growing increasingly impatient with the two-fisted flamboyance of such films as Tokyo Drifter (1966) and Youth of the Beast (1963), and Branded was the straw broke the camel's back; Suzuki was promptly sacked by enraged studio heads. Now Suzuki is recognized as Japan's great cinematic maverick and Branded to Kill is considered one his finest works. -- Jonathan Crow

Seijun Suzuki.
PD1: El ripeo de
Fito está muy bien y cuenta con muchas más fuentes que el MiniSD.
Addenda: Gracias, primo. No se me había pasado, es que los llevo a tajo.
PD2: ImageShack me tiene hasta.... Hace unos días me censuraron un plano medio de Hinkel/Chaplin ("El Gran Dictador"), después una teta vanguardista (en "Salmo Rojo") y ahora no sale un primer plano ¡de la cara! del asesino con paperas.
Saludos.
Primo,la subo porque te has olvidado de enlazarla en la filmografia (igual estoy metiendo la pata 
)
