Film Journal #223 - Takashi Miike’s “Ichi the Killer” (2001)
Japanese director Takashi Miike doesn’t give a fuck about what you think is acceptable to show on screen. He pushes boundaries and comfort levels in unprecedented ways that leave the view wanting to take a long, hot shower after watching one of his films. “Ichi the Killer” is an extremely violent and often disturbing film that will be enjoyed by all who can stomach it.
