One of the things that makes Japanese cult icon Takashi Miike the creative force that he is is that even while in the midst of pumping out big budget studio projects - such as his recent Sukiyaki Western Django, Crows 0 and Like A Dragon the man never forgets his low budget roots and often sneaks a tiny budgeted v-cinema project in on his spare time. -- Twitch |

Notes: Lots of grain/noise, but even the DVD cover and posters have it plus it's Takashi Miike so that's probably an intended effect. |
