Takashi Miike is, in the purest sense of the word, prolific. He has dedicated himself to churning out film after film, year in and year out, often with wildly differing levels of success. Sure, it’s easy to look at fantastic works like Audition or 13 Assassins and say the man is a great director, but for every Audition, there’s a shamefully pedestrian outing like Yakuza Apocalypse in Miike’s filmography. Miike has always rode that line between schlock and greatness, and it gives the impression that even he doesn’t know what he wants to create next. He’s unpredictable, and despite how inconsistent his work can be at times, every now and then, a fantastic movie emerges from his twisted brain.
With Miike’s 100th movie, Blade of the Immortal, another great film has been born.
