FIRST LOVE

Iconic Filmmaker Takashi Miike’s Explosive, Noir-Tinged Film
Debuts on Digital, Blu-ray™ Combo Pack & DVD February 11
​

Prolific auteur Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, Blade of the Immortal, 13 Assassins) is at his most fun and anarchic with the noir-tinged violent yakuza film FIRST LOVE, debuting on Digital, Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD February 11 from Well Go USA Entertainment. The wild, genre-blending story follows a young boxer and a call girl who fall passionately in love while getting innocently caught up in a drug-smuggling scheme over the course of one night in Tokyo. FIRST LOVE stars Masataka Kubota (13 Assassins), Sakurako Konishi (Fancy) and Shota Sometaniin (Legend of the Demon Cat).

Synopsis:
When a duplicitous scheme by the low-level yakuza, Kase (Shota Sometani) goes hilariously wrong, a terminally ill boxer, Leo (Masataka Kubota), and a disturbed drug addicted call girl, Monica (Sakurako Konishi), find themselves innocently caught in the crosshairs of two warring gangs. Over the course of the increasingly ludicrous night, the two fall passionately in love, while the hail of bullets and blood fall quietly in the background. From prolific auteur Takashi Miike, this noir-tinged, violent yakuza film, is Miike at his most fun and anarchic.

I'm a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE Takashi Miike fan, and have been nerdily waiting for this for almost 2 years.

 

[tripplej]

Wow, then for sure, I will have to check it out..

What are his previous films?

 

[Michael Scott]

he's done about 100 films, but the ones that made him famous in the U.S. was Ichi the Killer (that is most DEFINITELY an aquired taste film), 13 Assassins, Blade of the Immortal and a few others. I reviewed Blade and Ichi a while back actually (Blade might be on the "other" sight)

Thanks. I haven't seen any of them so I will have to look for them and if available on amazon prime/netflix, will check it out sooner.
