Takashi MIIKE 三池崇史

クローズZERO II
Nippon Cinema ª
Rivalling teengangs are giving their best to kill each other in this over the top action flick by enfant terrible Takashi MIIKE. The director of AUDITION delivers us too many climaxes, too much testosteron, too much violence and 27 minutes of nonstop fighting in the schoolyard. He gives us too much of everything. And that’s why we adore MIIKE.
