With over 100 feature films under his belt, Takashi Miike (Audition) is showing no signs of slowing down, and up next he’s got a noir-tinged yakuza film on the way with First Love!
Described as being Miike “at his most fun and anarchic,” the new movie blends genres and tells the story of a young boxer and a call girl, who fall passionately in love while getting innocently caught up in a drug-smuggling scheme over the course of one night in Tokyo.
Masataka Kubota (13 Assassins), Shôta Sometani (Tokyo Tribe) and Nao Ohmori (Ichi the Killer) star.
Well Go Usa will release First Love in NY/LA on September 27, with an expansion on October 4.
Check out the teaser trailer below.
