Fudoh - The Next Generation

Aroview: Possibly the first film that gave the Western world an inkling of dir. Miike's unhinged worldview, investing a tale of yakuza vengeance with surreal, blood-drenched and hilarious extremities.

Tanihara plays a budding teen gangster who seeks to enact revenge on his father for the convenience killing of his brother a decade earlier and using a gang of trained 8-year old assassins and other minions from the schoolyard, he begins to unreel his plot. Shot with restrained precision, this was to presage the dir.'s journey into the perverse and violent logic of AUDITION, DEAD OR ALIVE and others.
