My most embarrassing film recommendation was intended for my nephew, who just graduated from Berkeley with a degree in Film Studies and now works at the American Film Institute. During his junior year, he was doing a paper on the Japanese gangster films of "Beat" Takeshi Kitano. I thought he should also check the '50's-to-'60's works of Seijin Suzuki and sent my mother a copy of "Branded To Kill" to forward to him. Well, my message got garbled and my mother thought the film was for her senior citizen club to watch. This film is a crazy mixture of hitman rivalry with a cooked rice fetish and kinky sex that got Suzuki fired as a director for Nikkatsu Studios. Needless to say, my mother has never introduced me to her senior citizen club friends, who are probably happy to put that film and the pervert who recommended it behind them as they watch "Runaway Bride"!
