There's no big surprise that it's one of my favorite Miike films"<br /><br />With you on that completely. I knew there was a special reason I love this blog so much.<br /><br />Very excited about the Kazuki Tomokawa documentary. Without him, that razor thin narrative would have devolved into more violent farce than commentary. Hell of a challenging way to make a movie, but if it were done any more simply then the flashes of war footage and layers of spiritual/carnal metaphor would have come off as just preachy. As it is, most gore fans accuse Miike of that with IZO anyway. Their loss.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12906087512482407243noreply@blogger.com
