Takashi Nomura (野村孝) (February 18, 1927 – May 5, 2015) is a Japanese film director for studios including Nikkatsu.[1] The Criterion Collection described him as a "prominent, stylistically daring director".[1]
While on contract with Nikkatsu, Nomura directed films such as Quick Draw Joe (1961).[2]
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.[3][4] Nomura's use of still shots in the opening sequence has been compared to manga art techniques.[5]
