He died at age 93. It would be nice if everyone could live so long. Ramen in peace.

Same disease that caused Leonard Nimoy to pass away. He was 93 and couldn't pass away naturally. I hope his family and friends can get through this. Thank you for having an impact on many lives.

RIP

Rest in peace, sir. He lived nearly as long as my grandpa did.

I enjoyed Tokyo Drifter. A really unique, interestingly crafted movie.

Shame Midnight Eye went inactive. Their eulogy to him would probably have been interesting to read.

I enjoyed the visual surrealism in Branded To Kill, notable for its striking use of black-and-white cinematography.
His style supposedly was a major influence on Tarantino's films. RIP.

OH MAN!!! I was just talking about him to a co-worker last week about his films. And I had wondered what he was doing because I knew he was up there. Wow, 93. He was still making films in his golden years. He was WWII vet as well. His film 'Story of a Prostitute' was a film I watched by him that gave us a look into his life as a WWII soldier and the ideals that went into being the perfect soldier serving during that time. As many were young, studying different ideologies (Communism) and the whole morale and honor deal of serving the Japanese military. This was in an extensive interview with him after the film. So he's a beacon of knowledge from that era. And of course on the fun side we have 'Princess Raccoon'. I had to get that into the collection as it's one of his more laid back films when compared to his more serious works.

I may not have gotten a chance to know more about him, but I'm glad that I had the chance to sit down and explore more Asian cinema and actually explore this legend. He will be missed but he leaves behind a legacy that cannot be replaced.

RIP Seijun Suzuki. Thank you for your great works.
