Arrow Video The Black Society Trilogy

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-class filmmaking talent with this trio of thematically-connected, character-centric crime stories about violence, the underworld of Japanese society, families both real and surrogate, and the possibly hopeless task of finding ones place in the world. His first films made specifically for theatrical release, and his first for a major studio, the Black Society Trilogy was the beginning of Miikes mature career as a filmmaker and they remain among the prolific directors finest works. Set in the bustling Kabuki-cho nightlife neighborhood of Tokyo, Shinjuku Triad Society follows a mixed-race cop (Kippei Shiina, Outrage) struggling with private issues while hunting a psychotic criminal (Tomorowo Taguchi, Tetsuo the Iron Man) who traffics in childrens organs. Rainy Dog, shot entirely in Taiwan, is about an exiled yakuza (Dead or Alives Show Aikawa) Lees meer over de Arrow Video The Black Society Trilogy van arrow video in de productgroep entertainment
