Gozu


Jesus Christ, it had been so long since I've seen this movie, but while organizing my room the other day I came to remember that I own an import copy. Gozu is a surrealist/horror/comedy/fucked-up cult flick from Takashi Miike - the director of the very well known Audition and Ichi The Killer. I like Gozu though because it's such a departure from Miike's other films - or anything at all. There is no other movie like it. It's a mash-up up yakuza thriller, traditional japanese horror, black comedy, and a lot of sexual metaphors. I reccommend everyone with a penchant for the bizarre see this - where else can you see the birth of a full-grown man?
