City Of Lost Souls R0 (Uk Import) - Takashi, MiikeReleasedatum: 30 maart 2009
Explosive and stylish, this turbo-charged thriller from Audition director Miike Takashi is an all-out assault on the senses. Set in Rio, Okinawa and Tokyo's notorious Shinjuku district, the film takes a journey deep into the seedy underside of Japan's gangland, and explores its eccentric characters and extreme violence. When Brazilian-Japanese Mario is unleashed from jail, he sets out to rescue his beautiful Chinese girlfriend, Kei, from being deported from Japan. Back in Tokyo he tries to raise the cash to buy counterfeit passports for him and Kei to flee to Australia. Along the way the couple find themselves face-to-face with violent Yakuza and Triads, and must fight for their freedom. Packed with incredible set-pieces this full-throttle movie is one ride you won't want to get off!
