Takashi Miike (Audition) is back with the noir-tinged yakuza film First Love, and Well Go Usa has just unleashed a brand new trailer ahead of the film’s release here in the States.
It’s the best (and bloodiest) trailer we’ve seen for the film to date, looking like Miike’s own take on movies like True Romance and Baby Driver. Two of my personal favorites!
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.
