With the director often making upwards of five, six, or seven films a year, it’s nothing short of incredible that he’s able to craft something as wildly enjoyable, energetic, and giddy as his most recent film, First Love, and yet here we are.įrom its intentionally misleading name to its fatal scrum of rough-and-tumble criminals taking to outmatch each other, First Love is a Japanese take on True Romance, filtered through Miike’s signature twisted humor and ultra-violent, splatter tendencies. The prolific auteur has dabbled in everything from sweeping historical epics ( 13 Assassins) to slow-burn horror showstoppers ( Audition) to schlocky gangster yarns ( Ichi the Killer) to gory Samurai adventure flicks ( Blade of the Immortal) to child-centric ninja fare ( Ninja Kids!!!) with literal countless smaller projects filling in the gaps between those more high-profile pictures that end up playing in theaters internationally.
