Black Rain (Scott, 1989): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 8.35pm
This film, also screening on September 19th, is part of the Ridley Scott season at BFI Southbank. You can find the full details here.
BFI introduction:
After witnessing a Yakuza hit in a Manhattan restaurant, hardboiled New
York detective Nick Conklin is charged with escorting the offending gang
member back to Japan. Duped into handing him over to Yakuza posing as
cops, Conklin teams up with a local detective to track the suspect down,
only to be caught in the crossfire of a turf war. Osaka receives the
full Scott treatment – resembling a neon-drenched future-world, it’s the
perfect backdrop to this high-wire action thriller.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
