GRAVEYARD OF HONOR

In the same loose remake spirit as Herzog’s BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS, Takashi Miike -- the blazing-hot cinematic gun behind some of Japan’s most notorious cult films like AUDITION, ICHI THE KILLER and HAPPINESS OF THE KATAKURIS -- remakes Kinji Fukasaku’s Seventies psycho crime thriller. Miike’s film is both a radical reimagining of Fukasaku’s original premise, and captures the hedonism / nihilism of Japan’s modern crime scene in deliriously stylish fashion. Goro Kishitani stars as the self-destructive hood who makes his way up from dishwasher to yakuza kingpin in swift fashion!
