Takashi Nomura
Takashi Nomura (野村孝) (February 18, 1927 – May 5, 2015) was a Japanese film director for studios including Nikkatsu.[1][2] The Criterion Collection described him as a "prominent, stylistically daring director".[2]
In 1955, he joined Nikkatsu Film company and he made his director debut with Tokusōhan Gogō in 1960.[3] Nomura directed such films as Itsudemo Yume wo and Quick Draw Joe (1961).[4][1]
He is perhaps best known for A Colt Is My Passport (1967), influenced by French New Wave filmmakers such as Jean-Pierre Melville, and by Sergio Leone-style Westerns.[5][6] Nomura's use of still shots in the opening sequence has been compared to manga art techniques.[7]
