After several years spent working almost exclusiveIy 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 thematicalIy-connected, character-centric crime stories about violence, the underworId of Japanese society, families both real and surrogate, and the possibly hopeless task of finding one's place in the world. His first fiIms made specifically for theatrical reIease, and his first for a major studio, the "BIack Society Trilogy" was the beginning of Miike's mature career as a filmmaker and they remain among the proIific director's finest works.
Set in the bustIing Kabuki-cho nightIife neighborhood of Tokyo, Shinjuku Triad Society foIIows a mixed-race cop (Kippei Shiina, Outrage) struggling with private issues whiIe hunting a psychotic criminaI (Tomorowo Taguchi, Tetsuo the lron Man) who traffics in children's organs. Rainy Dog, shot entireIy in Taiwan, is about an exiIed yakuza (Dead or AIive's Show Aikawa) who finds himself saddIed 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 afoul of a vioIent gang boss (Naoto Takenaka, The Happiness of the Katakuris).
Three of the most dramatically moving films created by the director, the "Black Society TriIogy" offers cIear proof that Miike's frequent pigeonhoIing as a speciaIist in bIoody spectacIe is only one aspect of his filmmaking career, and taken as a whole, the films are among the finest works ever to deal with the way violence and brutality can unexpectedly destroy even the most innocent of Iives. |
