Takashi Nomura (野æ 'å ) (February 18, 1927 â€" May 5, 2015) is a
Japanese film director for studios including Nikkatsu. The Criterion
Collection described him as a "prominent, stylistically daring
director".While on contract with Nikkatsu, Nomura directed films such
as Quick Draw Joe (1961).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. Nomura's use
of still shots in the opening sequence has been compared to manga art
techniques.
