One of the coolest movies you will ever see is 15 bucks. Mermaid Legend is one of the best films I've seen in a few years. Incredible score, unforgettable climax.

Japan has a long history of film noir shaped shenanigans, but it was rarely as vivid as the three movies that made the Maiku Hama trilogy. Out now from @thirdwindowfilms.com

OH NO.

Also that image is from A SAMURAI IN TIME which is delightful and well worth investigating if you haven't seen it.

The Stairway to the Distant Past (1995)

The second entry in the Maiku Hama trilogy, now in color.

And HOLY SHIT.

This one starts off as a light comedic romp with our eccentric private eye, and then it spirals into a feverishly strange nightmare descent into the traumas of post-occupation Japan.

OK. I'm biased. I have them all.

But if you are a fan of #Japanese #Cinema , and you don't have any of these titles, buy as many as you can. You won't regret it.

The Most Terrible Time in My Life (1993)
Hayashi Kaizo (director)

I bought the trilogy of Maiku Hama ('Mike Hammer') detective films without knowing anything about them.
Nagase Masatoshi starred in Mystery Train and The Box Man.
From the director of Zipang.
