Summary: Miike at his finest
Review: I love takeshi miike films. This film goes well away from his trademark gore. This is a simple fable of a mystic pristine far away land and the people that inhabit it. The 2 vistors, one business man one bill collector flail helplessly, complements of the beauty and folklore. The ending is overwhelming and still haunts me. Extremely worthy, this one will stay with you.

Summary: One of Miike's Best
Review: Those of you interested in Miike's more gritty violent works like Audition, The Dead or Alive Trilogy, or Ichi the Killer may be in for a bit of a shock with this one but there is still plenty to love here. This film bought Miike alot of credibility in his homeland and when you see it it's easy to see why. Check it out if you're a true Miike fan but if you're just in it for the gore and the shocks consider checking out Gozu (equally great and also available this month) instead.
