This is the third Miike movie I watch, and it is so far my least favorite movie of his, but the film is definitely a lot of fun. The film's plot is very silly (something about a yakuza member looking for the missing dead body of his "brother"), but it's filled with crazy ideas. It would be pointless to try to analyze what Miike is trying to do here because it all seems meaningless anyway. I'm sure the film makes sense to Miike (and to his fans), but I do not think this is the kind of movie you watch for its performances, etc. I had fun watching this film because I could never predict what kind of nonsense Miike was going to come up with. There is something compelling and very satisfying about watching a film merely for its shock value. I'm not sure if this film could be considered an artistic triumph, but the movie's great parade of bizarre twists and turns satisfied me and gave me a lot to think about. Many directors try to engage viewers with a non-traditional narrative, but Miike is one of the few directors who makes this kind of film-making fun to watch. The movie cannot be taken seriously, but its silliness is irresistible. Highly recommended!
