- Synopsis:
The late nineties and early 00s saw director Takashi Miike make the transition from his origins in direct-to-video 'V-cinema' to one of the most critically and commercially successful Japanese directors on the international stage. A multi-talented director who would come to work in almost every established genre, it was his often outrageous takes on the gangster genre that first brought him attention outside of Japan
Fudoh: The New Generation (2001)Riki Fudoh (Shosuke Tanihara) is a high school student juggling academic work with a secret life operating as an underworld boss. As the leader of a group of larger than life, school-age assassins, Fudoh is waging a campaign of violence against the entire criminal underworld, as part of a revenge plot against his own father (Toru Minegishi), a high-ranking Yakuza in his own right who was forced to murder Fudoh's brother Originally planned for release as a direct-to-video V-cinema title, Fudoh was granted a theatrical release after producers viewed the film, leading to it becoming a festival favourite around the world, and establishing Miike on the world stage as one of film's great provocateurs and a key figure in 'extreme' cinema.
Deadly Outlaw: Rekka (2002)
Kunisada (played by V-cinema legend Riki Takeuchi) has his world turned upside down after learning of the death of his mentor Sanada (Yuya Uchida, lead singer of the Flower Travellin' Band, who also provide the film's hard-rocking psychedelic soundtrack). Pairing up with his best friend Shimatani (Kenichi Endo), Kunisada embarks on a rampaging road trip to avenge his fallen father figure, leaving a trail of bullets, blood spatters, and bazooka fire in his wake. A typically bizarre and extreme take on the Yakuza genre, 'Deadly Outlaw: Rekka' is Miike at his most deliriously entertaining.- Actors:
