A very big thank you to @nekonoir01 for reminding me about Bunta Sugawara’s birthday which I totally missed last week! There is no lame excuse for missing Bunta’s birthday! Bunta was a legend and his films always get me through tough times! Happy belated birthday in the afterlife to the eternally great Bunta Sugawara!

Tôkyô nagaremono (Tokyo Drifter, 1966)

"Otsuka! You call yourself a yakuza?"

"Money and power rule now. Honour means nothing!"

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

I can't...stop thinking about Sulla dedicating his memoirs to Lucullus.......what the fuck.....

Plutarch, Lucullus (trans. Scott-Kilvert)

Lucullus: A Life, Arthur Keaveney

I will probably redesign Lucullus the next time I draw him, but we are. getting somewhere. I want to give him darker hair, I think. but mostly this comic is because I've been playing U-Know's Reality Show album pretty regularly since it was released and Vuja De is one of those songs that really hits when I think about relationships people had with Sulla (either in the positive, negative, or generally kind of messy). it Inspires, it Compels, and I also just wanted to do a 9-panel grid layout because it's been awhile since I've done one. they're Satisfying

#me reading plutarch's lucullus bio for real this time: oh so you were sulla's other wife #anyway ive spent the last half hour re working my yakuza film-gangster genre retelling of the late republic and lemme tell you #lucullus. ohhhhhhh. he's. he's fun #i have never thanked sulla for anything but i AM thanking him for lucullus. the themes we are unlocking. the fashion decisions #i FINALLY get to indulge in. hell yea #komiks tag #roman republic tag #lucius cornelius sulla felix #Lucius Licinius Lucullus #drawing tag

Policiais vs. Bandidos (1975), dir. Kinji Fukasaku.

Review originalmente postada: 01/Mar/2023 no Letterboxd.

O diretor Fukasaku manteve seu estilo de direção e quase todo o elenco de Yakuza Papers em seu próximo filme, criando uma conexão quase como se fosse da mesma franquia. Inspirado por eventos reais, o filme utiliza imagens de jornais que dão uma sensação de documentário, agregando ainda mais profundidade à história. Além disso, O estilo de direção de Fukasaku é bem característico, com a utilização de câmera na mão e cortes rápidos, criando um ambiente de tensão e urgência nas cenas de ação. Aqui Fukasaku chega com uma forte crítica social, este filme aborda de forma mais aprofundada a ideia de como o Japão se tornou corrupto no pós-guerra, mostrando como a violência se tornou uma justificativa para os problemas sociais que surgiram na época. Nenhum personagem policial ou político segue a lei, tornando-os ainda menos honrados do que os próprios membros da Yakuza. É curioso notar que um dos personagens policiais é mais preocupado em perseguir comunistas do que em prender criminosos, o que é visto como um fator de ironia e humor no filme. Uma algo que me chamou atenção no protagonista, interpretado novamente por Bunta Sugawara, é a mudança de seu papel em relação ao filme anterior Yakuza Papers. Se antes ele era um bandido honrado, agora ele é um policial corrupto que trabalha em conluio com a Yakuza. Essa transformação revela a versatilidade do ator e sua habilidade em interpretar personagens complexos e distintos, mesmo dentro do mesmo gênero cinematográfico.
