Nikkatsu‚ frustrated by the director's attempts #to inject avant garde visuals into their straight genre pieces‚ slashed his budget and his schedule and basically said make a yakuza film #and don't get weird. in response he delivered his most visually experimental piece to date‚ a pop art kaleidoscope take on the gangster #ballad which also critiques the lack of reward that comes from loyalty to a corporate system (i wonder what that could be about Seijun..) #and also manages to parody american western cinema and the burgeoning spy film boom. it isn't quite perfect (i get what the bar room brawl #scene is doing as pastiche‚ but it's still too long and too messy) but as a paring down of the themes of yakuza cinema (and then inverting #those themes‚ so that loyalty and honour become a weakness) mixed with the sheer joyful spectacle of the film is nothing short of joy #Watari and Matsubara would be reunited for the (excellent) Outlaw Gangster series‚ which plays these same tropes deadly straight

Tokyo Drifter (1966)

Jag ville posta en serie bilder från Tokyo Drifter (1966) och säga något kort om filmens otroligt snygga arbete med färg.

Regissören Seijun Suzuki är känd för sina bisarra och surrealistiska filmer, och Tokyo Story har jag förstått är en slags parodisk kommentar till de så många yakuza-filmer som skapades samma tid. Såhär står det om Suzuki på wikipedia: “was a Japanese filmmaker, actor, and screenwriter. His films are known for their jarring visual style, irreverent humour, nihilistic cool and entertainment-over-logic sensibility.” 

Tack vare Tokyo Drifters grafiska och stilistiska framtoning så förstärks känslan av fiktion och saga, vilket går hand i hand med filmens intention att parodiera annan gangsterfilm. Stilismen gör också att historien (den ganska banala och ibland fars-liknande sådan) i sig närmast blir sekundär - det är framförallt dess look som är filmens behållning.

Detta är ett youtube-klipp som jag ofta återkommer till, som beskriver sätt att arbeta med färg i film, om hur filmidéer kan förmedlas med hjälp av färg, att färger kan associera till speciella idéer eller karaktärer. Det finns inga bestämda regler för att en specifik färg kommunicerar en specifik känsla, men vi tenderar att reagera på olika sätt till de olika färgerna. Blå är ofta lugnande, röd får en att reagera starkt, men det betyder inte att röd bara kan symbolisera en känsla. I film exempelvis är det vanligt att rött står för ondska, men också passion och kärlek. Grönt associeras ofta med skön natur, men kan också användas för att presentera en dyster och kvav känsla. Färg tenderar att påverka oss mycket och blir därför ett väldigt effektivt verktyg. I youtube-klippet pratar youtubaren Channel Criswell om skillnaden mellan associations och transitions, i sätt att arbeta med färg i film. Man kan associera en karaktär eller en idé med en oföränderlig färg i en film för att exempelvis ge tittaren signaler om historiens framfart. Till exempel: om färgen lila associeras med en specifik karaktär och sedan lila tydligt syns i bild i en scen så är den scenen säkerligen kopplad till karaktären på något vis. Man kan också förändra en färg som associeras till en specifik karaktär eller idé genom filmens gång, vilket kan symbolisera förändring hos karaktären eller stämningen.  

I Tokyo Story har man arbetat främst med färger som ett, i detta fall, tydligt element av berättande. Filmens karaktärer är representerade av färger som tydligt signalerar för oss tittare vad som är i görningen.

blå - hjälten Tetsu gul - kärleken, Chiharu röd - ont, hot, Otsuka svart - ondska grön - de opartiska vit - hjälte, det goda

Detta sätt att arbeta med färg har liksom dragits till dess spets i denna film, och används på ett nästan övertydligt vis. I mina ögon är detta dock inget negativt, utan jag tycker om övertydligheten, medvetenheten, och det förstärker känslan av fiktion ytterligare.
