Takashi Nomura

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