Viewing Notes

Really like this sprawling crime action romance thriller set throughout Japan with different ethnicities. Feels like a comic book but not manga. Michelle Reis still radiant as ever. ofc I’d love to have a restored and remastered release on Blu and it’s long overdue. Then again there are still so many Miike films that just need a release, period.
