TAKE AIM AT THE POLICE VAN - Kölner Kino Nächte

In the organizer's words:

TAKE AIM AT THE POLICE VAN

(Jûsangô taihisen yori sono sogôsha o nerae)

Japan 1960 - 79 min. - OmeU - b/w - 35 mm - Director: Seijun SUZUKI

At the beginning of this twist-filled thriller, a prisoner transporter is attacked. Two prisoners die and the perpetrator escapes. Senior warden Daijirô Tamon is accused of negligent behavior and suspended from duty for six months, but he disregards this and takes up the pursuit on his own initiative.

In his investigations, Tamon tries to find out who the victims were, what relationships they had with friends and family and whether a certain system can be identified behind the murders. In the course of his dogged research, he ends up in dead ends, follows up leads that turn out to be false and discovers more deaths. Mysteriously, the mysterious Yûko, whose father seems to run a brothel and is in prison, appears in all the clues he follows up.
