Here's the
controversial film from Takashi Miike and it's everything that made him
the most talked about and the most influential of all the Japanese directors.
Miike calls this one "a Yakuza Horror film." It's a surrealist action-packed,
ultra-violent gift to his fans. He may never make a better movie... this
one MUST be seen by anyone with an interest in Asian Cult Cinema.
Minami (Sone),
a member of the Azamawari gang, highly respects Ozaki (Aikawa), a fellow
gangster who has saved his life in the past. However, lately, Ozaki has
become eccentric and everyone wonders about his sanity. The Big Boss is
unsympathetic to the "loose cannon" and he orders Minami to dispose of
Ozaki in the city of Nagoya. There, the fate of these two men follows
a twisted path filled with violence and unexpected scares...
