An anarchic send-up of B-movie clich\u00e9s, it stars Joe Shishido as an assassin who gets turned on by the smell of cooking rice, and whose failed attempt to kill a victim (a butterfly lands on his gun) turns him into a target himself. Perhaps Suzuki\u2019s most famous film, it has been cited as an influence by filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch, Park Chan-wook, and John Woo, as well as the composer John Zorn, who called it &#8220;a cinematic masterpiece that transcends its genre.&#8221; (Japan, 1967, DCP, 91 min., b\/w, Japanese with English subtitles)<\/p>\n<p>Tickets and information at: <a href=\"http:\/\/prod3.agileticketing.net\/WebSales\/pages\/info.aspx?evtinfo=176375~31a96320-4160-4f8e-a5f9-05c4f03c9c01&amp;epguid=787816dc-1530-49d0-b17e-9ab945d24f3c&amp;\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/prod3.agileticketing.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, January 21\u00a0 07:30pm Cinema Arts Centre 423 Park Avenue Huntington NY 11743<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59825"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59827,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59825\/revisions\/59827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
