| Overview: | Gamblers and card sharps, and yakuza-style vengeance; the mainstays of many films by Japanese auteur Seijun Suzuki. "Kanto Wanderer" is no exception. Yakuza icon Akira Kobayashi ("Bloody Territories") is Boss Izu's bodyguard Katsuta, who finds himself at the center of a violent power play by the greedy rival Boss Yoshida. When Katsuta encounters a mysterious and beautiful femme fatale from his past, he must decide to act upon his own desires or pay his debt of honor to Boss Izu. A stylistic gem, Suzuki's fast-paced melodrama unfolds in choreographed bursts of color and action.
