RIP Joe Shishido (6.12.1933 - 20.1.2020)

"I really don't like watching the movies I've appeared in. It is not important what I think of my appearances. The most important thing is the reaction of the audience."

#joe shishido #Shishido Jō #Joe the ace #Rip #japanese cinema #death ment tw #Yakuza films #Oh Joe #A true icon of the big screen #Somehow I thought you'd live forever #Nobody played cool mob enforcers (or the flip side cool lone wolf detectives) quite like Joe #With his trademark dark glasses and those (artificially enhanced) chubby cheeks and a cigarette at the corner of his mouth #The one face that pretty much guaranteed I was going to love a Japanese crime film #Even in smaller parts like his needlessly sadistic small town hood in Voice Without a Shadow #Or his wonderfully delirious elder statesman of the underworld in the Battles without honour series #It takes a lot to upstage Bunta Sugawara in those films #But Joe made it look effortless #And then there's the amazing set of films he made with Seijun Suzuki the zenith of which is the indescribably brilliant #branded to kill #Rest easy Joe the Ace
