Fudoh: The New Generation

The film that introduced international critics to the wonderful world of Takashi Miike. Fudoh is a Yakuza epic sprinkled with inventive ideas, weird characters and grotesque kills. It's one of Miike's earlier films, meaning the stylistic finish is quite rudimentary and the pacing is all over the pace. But there are so many memorable moments, so many scenes you won't see from any other director, that it still manages to amaze 25 years after its release.
