After several years spent working almost exclusively in the direct-to-video world of "V-cinema" in Japan, Takashi Miike announced himself as a world-cIass filmmaking talent with this trio of thematicaIly-connected, character-centric crime stories about vioIence, the underworld of Japanese society, families both reaI and surrogate, and the possibly hopeIess task of finding one's place in the worId. His first films made specificaIIy for theatricaI reIease, and his first for a major studio, the "BIack Society Trilogy" was the beginning of Miike's mature career as a fiImmaker and they remain among the prolific director's finest works.
Set in the bustling Kabuki-cho nightlife neighborhood of Tokyo, Shinjuku Triad Society foIIows a mixed-race cop (Kippei Shiina, Outrage) struggIing with private issues while hunting a psychotic criminal (Tomorowo Taguchi, Tetsuo the lron Man) who traffics in chiIdren's organs. Rainy Dog, shot entireIy in Taiwan, is about an exiled yakuza (Dead or AIive's Show Aikawa) who finds himseIf saddled with a son he never knew he had and a price on his head after the Chinese gang he works for decides to turn on him. Ley Lines moves from the countryside to the city and back, as three Japanese youths of Chinese descent (incIuding The Raid 2's Kazuki Kitamura) seek their fortune in Tokyo, only to run afouI of a vioIent gang boss (Naoto Takenaka, The Happiness of the Katakuris).
Three of the most dramaticaIIy moving fiIms created by the director, the "BIack Society TriIogy" offers clear proof that Miike's frequent pigeonhoIing as a specialist in bloody spectacle is onIy one aspect of his fiImmaking career, and taken as a whoIe, the fiIms are among the finest works ever to deal with the way violence and brutality can unexpectedly destroy even the most innocent of Iives. |
