The post Hide – Kyôhan AKA Wild Criminal (1999) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

After being threatened by his girlfriend’s brother, Ko (Riki Takeuchi) goes on a trip on his Kawasaki to contemplate his options. He meets Miiyo (Kiwako Harada) by chance, and the two stay in touch. He later receives an invitation to her island, where he begins to teach her how to ride, and quickly falls for her. Miiyo is an extremely quick study, and the two are a well-matched pair. However, her obsession with motorbikes seems to be leading her down a dangerous path.
His Motorbike, Her Island is a beautiful, emotional, and visually stunning film by Nobuhiko Obayashi. The film is in both black-and-white and color, and freely drifts between the two (occasionally those are not mutually exclusive). It stars the legendary Riki Takeuchi in his first role, whose youthful looks may come as a surprise to those used to seeing him in roles from many V-Cinema and Takashi Miike films, along with Kiwako Harada (The Drifting Classroom, The Enchantment) and Noriko Watanabe (Totto Channel, Muscle Heat). It also features Tomokazu Miura (Outrage, Adrift in Tokyo, M/Other), Takahiro Tamura (Muddy River, Tora! Tora! Tora!), Ryoichi Takayanagi (The Little Girl Who Conquered Time, School in the Crosshairs) and Toru Minegishi (Fudoh: The New Generation, Departures). Brief appearances are made by Ittoku Kishibe and Shigeru Izumiya as well. Many of Obayashi’s usual collaborators return, with cinematography by Yoshitaka Sakamoto, art direction by Kazuo Satsuya, music by Naoshi Miyazaki, and sound design by Shohei Hayashi. The film was 3rd on the top 10 list at the 8th Yokohama Film Festival, where Watanabe won Best Supporting Actress and Harada won Best New Actress.

The post Takashi Miike – Dead or Alive: Hanzaisha (1999) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
From the ashes of Dead or Alive’s apocalyptic ending comes Dead or Alive 2, both a continuation of the series and a stand-alone film on par with its predecessor. Serving up shockingly graphic violence, sincere character nuance, engaging humor and transcendent magical realism with equal mastery, Dead or Alive 2 offers definitive evidence of why the New York Post hailed director Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer) as “one of the most exciting, versatile directors working today.”

After Yakuza hitman Mizuki (Sho Aikawa) watches a high-priced target gunned down by another assassin, he combs the underworld in search of clues that will reveal his rival’s identity. But when the two executioners meet, they discover they are long-lost childhood friends. Now reunited, Mizuki and his amigo Shuichi (Riki Takeuchi) team up to pay off their spiritual debts while staying one trigger-pull ahead of the Yakuza mobsters and drug triad killers who want them dead.

Somehow simultaneously reprising and reversing their roles from the first DOA installment, Japanese “V Film” cult actors Aikawa and Takeuchi are joined by Tetsuo: Iron Man creator Shinyu Tsukamoto in a rare onscreen appearance. Director Miike loads DOA 2 with equally rich portions of mayhem and sentiment, creating both a bloodthirsty Asian action film and a lyrical journey of cinematic finesse.
