New Cinema from Asia Swiss premiere
Miike Takashi
Japan, 140', vo JPN, sub ENG/FRA, 16 Year
Cast: Kimura Takuya, Sugisaki Hana, Fukushi Sōta
After
witnessing the killing of her family, a young girl hires a warrior to avenge
them. This rude, brutal assassin also happens to be an immortal. Miike makes a
glorious comeback to the samurai film with this adaptation of the eponymous
manga. After 13 Assassins, the
director once again deconstructs the rules of the chambara in an astounding
outbreak of violence. This is an insane, graphically exhilarating action movie.
