Gozu

This wildly bizarre Japanese horror movie from master Takeski Miike (AUDITION) follows the mysterious disappearance of Brother, a gangster who was accidentally killed by one of his Mafia cohorts, Minami. Searching for Brother's body--which vanished minutes after he was shot--Minami stumbles into a strange secluded inn and gets a room. He is instantly aware that something fishy is going on, and as he gets to know the innkeepers more intimately that feeling is backed up by evidence. Given to loud, rambunctious sessions of pumping her own breast milk, the innkeeper's wife is certainly a spectacle. Meanwhile, the violent sadomasochistic relationship (read: whipping) shared between the innkeeper, his wife, and his brother is quite another. Nothing, however, can top Miike's grand finale for GOZU which combines some very important Givenchy crotchless panties, an old man who has a unique solution for his anal fixation, and an extremely gelatinous odds-defying birth.

  Sublime, surreal and sensational.
  
  Takashi Miike makes David Lynch look like Walt Disney.

  Don't expect a typical Takeshi Miike horror film. This is a freakish comedy along the lines of 'O Lucky Man' in which a young man encounters a ... read more »
