Mandei (2000)
Crazy Flick. But I wish Takagi Got The Girl
I've seen this movie several times. But My favorite scenes are the ones at the .Funeral(Exploding corpse), and two bar scenes (Fortune teller, woman in white, no hands peeing, twist/ seductive slow dancing, and a bunch of yakuza).
And although Takagi's(Shuichi Tsutumi) life goes a little South in the later part of the movie , I kind of wished for a better fate for him in spite of the four murders he committed(face it ,the first two were accidents). He could have ran off with either the Yakuza girl or something. Anyhow,if this were a normal movie, it probably would not been produced by Sabu(Hiroyuki Tanaka)
Also of note in the music. No where does a funky song feel so out of place as in the scenes at the first bar where Takagi meets the Yakuza sexpot (I feel like I wanna get down!!!).But is it really out of place ? Can a straight laced Japanese character be able to get down with his bad self? For the uninitiated, check out the movie and see!!!
