| User ReviewPrivate UOne of my personal faves, very calm for miike but the characters in this movie are so well written, blah blah its a good-un so watch it! |
| User ReviewThomas Ma very touching film, with pretty good acting in my opinion. |
| User ReviewOliver KA very good Miike film. Feels kind of standard, and almost formulaic in structure which is extremely conforting considering Miike's other films. The beginning is still quite intense however. |
| User ReviewKevin Dsolid drama from Miike. I thought it more heartfelt than a lot of his films |
| User ReviewBen KThe poor guy..... just cant get a break.... thats life in Japan for you. |
| User ReviewTsubaki SAnother proof of Miike's greatness, a generic plot that becomes very much alive thanks to it's characters. The man once more focus his attention on people that are outsiders to society, or that are struggling to find focus in their lives. The plot is wisely trown to a side to let the characters breathe and trap the viewer. Very good casting too. Just go and watch this, right now. |
| User Reviewremka rA kind of Brokeback mountains with yakuza : great acting, and a kinda unusual plot in super-viril japanese gangster movies. |
| User ReviewSterling TThis film has a raw energy that gives the impression of authenticity. The plot reads like a fomulaic yakuza scipt, but Miike injects so much originality + vitality through the casting, location, camera work + editing. The ending is beautiful + thought provoking by simply leaving out the enevitable violent ending + providing the audience with a metaphysical image instead. |
| User ReviewFrancis PGreat story, great actor, awesome director |
| User ReviewArash BDans sa jeunesse, Miike faisait des films bien plus sages que Ichi ou Audition, mais d'une très grand force narrative. Un yakuza aux dents longues et un jeune adulte, élevé dans la rue, se lie d'amitié. L'un prépare un plan pour passer chef de famille, l'autre, qui deale un peu pour survivre, se révèle être un génie de l'harmonica et trouve son âme soeur. Seulement voilà, rien n'est jamais facile chez Takeshi Miike... Ce destin croisé enchaîne les moments de bonheur et de mélancolie avec grand brio, et le montage tantôt nerveux tantôt langoureux montre qu'avant d'être un grand cinéaste de l'horreur, Miike est un grand cinéaste tout court. (Revoir aussi son Birdpeople of China, chef-d'oeuvre de poésie). |
