A young man is initiated into a Yakuza band.
Leave your thoughts about Young Yakuza.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhitePlays more like a bad feature than a documentary. |
| Boxoffice MagazineMatthew NestelJuggling restraint and boldness to tackle this subject on many unexpected layers establishes this work as a brilliant effort. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerJean-Pierre Limosin's Young Yakuza looks at Japan's version of the Mafia. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonUltimately the viewer is left in the same bind as the filmmakers: wishing we'd been able to follow Naoki's apprenticeship to its traditional conclusion and beyond. |
| Filmcritic.comDon WillmottYou may be curious about what they're up to when the cameras are turned off, but you'll never find out. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoIf you're expecting a real-life version of a bloody Takashi Miike movie, forget it. |
| User ReviewSam WAn inside look on modern Yakuza. One of my favourite documentaries of all time. This movie shows the non-violent lifstyle of the Yakuza. |
| User ReviewMagali PA real and rarely seen look into the criminal underworld of Japan's yakuza. While it doesn't portray (for obvious legal reasons) the more brutal side of the business, it certainly sheds light on what the daily life of a yakuza consists of at the lowest rung on the ladder. Alot of unexpected moments, bits of humor, just plain fascinating to someone such as myself who enjoys yakuza flicks. Miike's DOA even pops up at one point on a TV screen and young Naoki points out that in yakuza films you practically never see anyone at an office, it's all city streets and outdoor events. Here's a documentary that provides a look at the other side of the gangster lifestyle. |
| User ReviewJonathan MFascinant, surtout dans la façon de démystifier tout ce que l'on a appris sur l'univers des yakuzas à travers les films de fiction. Le fait de n'avoir pu montrer aucune activité criminelle à l'écran rajoute un effet troublant : trop choquant pour être vu ou au contraire rien à voir ? |
| User ReviewLaura BWell-shot documentary into the mysterious life of Japanese organized crime. There are some small unexpected twists to the story of Naoki, the 20-y.o. goober who does a tryout in the clan. But by far the most interesting/bizarre person is the boss man himself-- check out where he goes when he hits some trouble. He hints at it early on. It will blow your mind. |
