We Love Buford Highway: The Crimson Kimono 35mm

Samuel Fuller's famously progressive 1959 noir film stars Japanese-American actor James James Shigeta in his debut role. Filmed in LA’s Little Tokyo a mere 13 years after the unconstitutional devastation of wartime incarceration, this underrated mystery classic documents the resilience of the postwar Japanese-American community while also propelling them forward in American film history. From high fantasy to generational drama, this curated film series celebrates the hope, tragedy, unity, and resilience that shape the American immigrant journey. These stories are more than entertainment — they’re a cultural call to action. A portion of proceeds support We Love Buford Highway and their critical mission to support communities of the corridor.   Learn more about We Love Buford Highway: https://welovebuhi.org/mission-and-vision — Two detectives clash over the hunt for a burlesque dancer’s killer in Los Angeles’ Japanese district.Noir, Romance | USAPT1H22MNot Rated2025-07-23
