13 Assassins is amazing and is my favorite Miike film to date. I just got a copy of “Blade of the Immortal” and am looking forward to watching it….
It’s difficult keeping up with someone who makes 3 films every year!
‘Ichi’ would be my top pick. ‘Audition’ is a hard watch at times, but incredibly stylish.
Best wishes, Pete.
Blade of the Immortal may not pack that same punch that 13 Assassins did, but it is a very good film nonetheless. Anyway, thanks for dropping by 🙂
Takashi Miike has directed over 100 films in his life and what is even more interesting about that is that he was not alive during D.W. Griffith, Allan Dawn and John Ford’s era where churning out a bunch of films per year was considered the norm. The early 1990’s is when Miike started filmmaking. Anyway, thanks for dropping by 🙂
Ichi is another great one, but then again, you probably knew that I loved that given the list 🙂 Anyway, thanks for dropping by 🙂
Audition is one of about 5 Asian films that I’ve seen. Wow! What a trip! Great movie, but very, very disturbing. It disturbed me like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer did; like the first time I saw Psycho–I had no idea what I was getting myself into; I was twelve.
As with Audition, John McNaughton’s Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho are great films that not only disturb you, but stick with you for a lifetime and that is the sign of a great film 🙂 Anyway, thanks for dropping by and keep those comments coming 🙂
