I never believed anyone other than Takashi Miike deserved to adapt Hiroaki Samura's raucous, blood-drenched manga Blade Of The Immortal into a live-action film,
Is it possible to have a film that features incest, necrophilia, rape and a whole lotta violence and still have it infused with genuinely heartfelt sentiment?
Viewed by many as Miike’s masterpiece, Audition is the first of his films to earn significant notoriety among Western horror fans, and it is, in many ways, a perfect showcase for the seasoned director’s numerous talents.
Just imagine if Lloyd Kaufman directed a Troma film straight, straight as an art film, and that’s the tone and mood and even the content of Yakuza Apocalypse.
