Quote:
Jun Ariyoshi works in a gay bar. One night, one of the customers pesters him and a terrible fight breaks out during which Jun kills the man. Jun does not show the slightest sign of remorse and is put in prison. One of the inmates is a young man named Shiro Kazuki, who wears strange-looking tattoos and whose remarkably penetrating looks can kill.

From the outset, Shiro makes brutality and violence his trademark and, as a result, soon makes his way up the hierarchy of those behind bars. Jun, who is more introverted, feels drawn by Shiro’s strength and decisiveness. Shiro accepts Jun because he is the only one on the inside who sees him for what he is. They gradually become friends, and then, a couple. Determined to let nothing and no-one come between them.

Then, however, an incident occurs. A prison warder is witness to a young man strangling another prisoner with all his might in the communal hall. Shortly afterwards, the victim breathes his last. It is Shiro. The young prisoner turns around. The guard observes the inmate’s tear-stained face as he admits: “I did it.” It is Jun.

Japanese director Takashi Miike is well known for films that make a decisive break with taboos and conventions, and for his ruthlessly graphic portrayal of violence. In this film, however, he is also keen to find an explanation for the outbreak of violence. What could have caused Jun’s terrible deed?

The post Takashi Miike – Araburu tamashii-tachi AKA Agitator (2001) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The ace cop of a totalitarian police force and a drifting android play their parts in a post-apocalyptic society. They are destined to fight. Their encounter will change them forever.

Review:
Although Takashi Miike’s sardonic science-fiction spoof ”Dead or Alive: Final” bills itself as the last installment of a trilogy, its story is only tangentially related to the first two parts. That’s not surprising when you consider that Mr. Miike, the prolific Japanese director with an ardent cult following, is credited with having completed no fewer than 12 films in the last two years. The home-movie crudeness of ”Dead or Alive: Final” indicates it was made on the cheap with minimal preparation.

The story is set in Yokohama in the year 2346, when human beings and androids coexist uneasily under a dictatorship presided over by Woo (Richard Cheung), who has decreed that birth control be mandatory. Woo appears to be in love with a young male trumpet player, who follows him around serenading him lyrically on his horn.

The dictator’s enforcer, Honda (Riki Takeuchi), is an android who resembles an Elvis impersonator and who, despite his mechanical origins, develops human feelings and is revealed to have a son.

Opposition to the birth-control decrees has coalesced into a guerrilla movement led by Fong (Terence Yin) and his girlfriend, Jyun (Josie Ho). After several of the rebels die in a battle with government forces, a swashbuckling android drifter, Ryo (Show Aikawa), joins the resistance. Eventually Honda and Ryo confront each other in a flashy martial arts showdown that culminates with a robotic homosexual copulation.

Alternating between facetious comic parody and pulp melodrama, this smart-aleck movie, which opens today in Manhattan, tosses around some intriguing questions about the difference between human and android life. It makes the most of cheap special effects that include recurrent images of androids frozen in crackling, lightning-ringed electrical fields.

Mr. Miike isn’t always this crude. Anyone who has seen his elegantly scary film ”Audition,” in which a psychotically vengeful woman uses acupuncture as a weapon of torture, knows that the director can be a virtuoso of transfixing horror.
