Film Forum will be holding a four-week, 24-film retrospective of prolific Japanese actor Tatsuya Nakadai from June 20th to July 24th in New York City. Nakadai will also be in the US from June 20th to June 24th for various events in New York and Washington DC. For full information on the event check out the newsletter here and the event’s homepage here.

Nakadai is a veteran of over 130 films in a career spanning over 50 years, making him arguably the most prominent living actor from the golden age of Japanese cinema. Aside from screenings of some of his more well-known films like Yojimbo and Harakiri Film Forum also has imported a few rare 35mm prints for the retrospective, including the late Kon Ichikawa’s Conflagration, Odd Obsession, and I Am Cat.

Update: More movies were added and the retrospective will now end on August 7.
