Viewing Notes

Feels like a 70s film with that early 90s aesthetic. Grimy movie shot on the gutter streets of Naha, Okinawa. Such a blast. Interesting to see Miike’s early work now in context of his later work. Also the first time I’ve seen drug use pixelated in a JP film. Curious about that. Now to track down the sequels.
