ICHI the Killer
(The movie is used as material
for the remix, and the original version wasn't
projected in this exhibition. ) |
 |
|
| "Ichi the Killer" is a violent
and shocking comic-based cult film directed by Takashi
Miike, who shocked the film world with his "Dead
or Alive" series. It is about a battle between Ichi,
a crybaby pervert killer (played by Nao Omori) who gets
sexually excited only by violence, and a young extreme-masochistic
tripod leader Kakihara (played by Tadanobu Asano), who
dares to be screwed by Ichi. Apart from being an R-18
film, many theatres declined to screen this film because
of its violent content. |
