	Takashi Miike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Miike claimed rarely to have attended classes, he graduated from Yokohama Vocational School of Broadcast and Film (Yokohama Hoso Eiga Senmon Gakko) under the guidance of renowned filmmaker Shohei Imamura, the founder and Dean of that institution.
		Miike's theatrical debut was Shinjuku Triad Society (1995), which showcased his extreme style and his recurring themes, and its success gave him the freedom to work on higher budgeted pictures.
		Miike's oeuvre is often regarded by detractors as offensively misogynistic.

	Japanese Directors - Takashi Miike
		Cult director Takashi Miike's cinematic outrage is an unforgettable horror shocker that builds from quietly creepy scenes to an explosion of some of the most graphic and disturbing images ever put on the screen.
		Miike uses familiar territory - the yakuza, cartoonish violence, gore, sex, humor and breakneck pacing - to tell the story of a murdered gangster who is given a second chance at life and revenge when he is revived by a mad scientist and fitted with robotic parts.
		Miike revisits the yakuza underworld to tell the tale of two gangsters who go to great lengths to protect their boss, whom they both love and respect like a father.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Features \| Controversial Japanese director Takashi Miike talks to Steve Rose
		Miike's disregard for decency, combined with his free-ranging visual instinct, has almost single-handedly created a new vocabulary of disgusting cinema.
		Miike's work invariably strays too deep into exploitation territory for widespread approval, but few would deny that his technique can be breathtaking.
		There are personal dimensions: some of Miike's family emigrated to China, and his grandmother was a war orphan who was abandoned in Korea during the second world war.

	Takashi Miike's Journal
		Miike, 45, is a deliberately and spectacularly transgressive director whose work is lionized by a substantial share of the young generation of Internet critics and horror film fans, while routinely rejected as repulsively sadistic by much of the mainstream media.
		Miike, who speaks no English and is rushing to complete his latest theatrical feature, "Waru: Final," for release in Japan on Feb. 25, was not available for comment.
		Miike's work, plays like an infernal variation on "Memoirs of a Geisha." In mid-19th-century Japan, an American journalist (the genre stalwart Billy Drago) goes in search of the prostitute he has fallen in love with but was forced to abandon.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Interviews \| Controversial Japanese director Takashi Miike talks to Steve Rose
		Miike is best known in the UK for his adult horror movie Audition, which was praised for its critique of Japanese masculinity.
		His trademark point-of-view shots are taken from places other directors wouldn't dream of: the bottom of a toilet bowl (as a man falls into it after being assassinated); within the ear canal (as it is pierced by a metal spike); even from inside a character's vagina (don't worry, it wasn't real).
		The violence in Miike's films is offputtingly extreme, but it is usually far from realistic.

		From Japanese rebel filmmaker Takashi Miike ("Audition") comes this deranged musical-comedy with horror, centering on a family that purchases a remote guest house, hoping to cash in on the construction of a nearby highway.
		Originally made for Japanese TV, Takashi Miike's compelling historical drama follows the travails of Sabu and Eiji, best friends since childhood, after Eiji is wrongly accused of stealing a valuable heirloom and sent to a harsh prison camp.

	FILMDECULTE : Visitor Q, de Takashi Miike
		On connait le goût de Miike pour l'extrême après avoir vu son premier film diffusé en France, intitulé Audition, contant l'histoire d'un loup vengeur déguisé en agneau docile (il s'agit en réalité de son dixième long métrage, le stackhanoviste nippon ayant tourné la bagatelle de vingt-deux films en sept ans).
		Miike y manipulait de manière intelligente le sadisme naturel du spectateur et lui rendait attachant un monstre de cruauté.
		Takashi Miike appartient ce qu'il convient bien d'appeler la nouvelle vague du cinéma japonais.

	Horror.com - Eli Roth Catches Takashi Miike Fever
		The focus of Miike's movies is the violence and dysfunction he finds in modern Japanese culture, and as such they are unflinchingly brutal, graphic, and shockingly twisted.
		Takashi Miike's brilliance has received worldwide attention only recently when, in 2000, his movies began showing at International film festivals.
		And when you go "in-depth" with Takashi Miike, there is no telling what bizarre situations you might find - or whether you really want to find them.

	Shinjuku Triad Society Review (1995) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Considering the strange and disturbing areas that Takashi Miike has explored over the last few years, the plot basics of the director’s first feature film-proper (after various made-for-video projects) seem almost ordinary by comparison.
		Miike has never been a director to stick to one style of shooting during a film, and here he experiments with different lenses, handheld and static camerawork and conjures up all manner of interesting camera angles.
		Miike started working as an assistant director in the late 80s, before moving into making straight-to-video thrillers in 1991.

	Takashi Miike Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Takashi Miike, along with 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano and Ring director Hideo Nakata, is one of the very few contemporary Japanese directors whose name is well known among mainstream western cinema-goers.
		But Miike was uninterested in the artistic side of film-making and paid as little attention at film college as he had in high school, frequently cutting classes.
		Miike's films are usually violent in a way which is over the top yet rarely strays into comedy (unless deliberately so, as in the hilariously dark The Happiness of the Katakuris) because each film has a twisted internal logic to which it adheres.

	Austin Film Society :: BLOODBATH AND BEYOND: The Extreme Cinema of Takashi Miike
		If Salvador Dalí could be reincarnated, he would demand to be Takashi Miike, the enfant terrible of contemporary Japanese cinema, a manga-influenced film stylist with a wicked sense of humor and the courage to break every taboo (even some not yet imagined).
		Miike's first theatrical release, the engrossing SHINJUKU TRIAD SOCIETY centers around corrupt police officers cracking down on a Taiwanese triad gang called The Dragon's Claw Society which operates a fl market trade of children's organs to affluent families.
		Miike uses random bleeping of innocuous dialogue to make it seem dirty, and censorship of legally forbidden sights is done in the most obnoxious way possible by scratching the emulsion off of the film.

	The Films of Takashi Miike (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Miike also appears for a 33-minute interview at a sound mixing board, discussing the film's status as a Japanese "New Year" film (see the liner notes by Patrick Macias for more info on this subgenre) and his approach to pulling off such a technically audacious, non-commercial project.
		Much of the information is expanded or rephrased from Miike's other appearances on the disc, but he also offers several new nuggets of information including some notes about how the film registers within his amazing, highly diverse body of work.
		None of the characters are really sympathetic, but Miike does manage to pull off an effective love story nonetheless which at least makes one wish the couple would steer away from their rollercoaster ride straight to hell.

	[KFCC] Ley Lines Review
		Through the perspective of immigrants in Tokyo, Miike explores a melting pot of many of his recurrent themes, albeit in a less blood-splattered and graphic sexual manner.
		Despite the freedom Miike seems to enjoy during the creative process, he's actually restricted by shackles of a different kind, at least as far as the perception of his work is concerned.
		An interesting dilemma, Miike is one of the few directors that is somewhat pigeon-holed by his fan base into being known as a certain kind of artist.

	Amazon.co.uk: Agitator: The Cinema of Takashi Miike: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Taking a critical, enthusiastic and accessible look at all of his 53 films and TV series, as well as his work as an actor and producer, this groundbreaking, exhaustive and complete work is set to become the definitive word on the most talked-about director of the decade.
		With perhaps the exception of the gruelling experience of Audition, his most well known film in the UK, Japanese auteur Takashi Miike's films are so unlike anything else past or present, so idiosyncratic and unpredictable in style, tone and ideas, that many are likely to dismiss them as nonsense.
		For those who are already somewhat au fait with the eccentric Miike universe, and survived some of the most extremely shocking images and ideas committed to celluloid, Agitator also makes a highly commendable attempt to further their appreciation and understanding of the man and his revolutionary visual vocabulary.

	[KFCC] Ichi the Killer Review
		Miike Takashi's brilliant (and often extremely perverse) visions truly break the rules of film-making.
		I don't know if Miike intended to do so (he claims he wasn't trying to comment on the social roles of men and women in Audition, which the film actually did), but in Ichi, he's done perhaps the best work at unraveling a tortured soul I have ever seen.
		The second disc is full of interesting extras, interview with Takashi Miike, interview with cast, cast and crew biographies, film notes, trailer, European promo, Japanese press kit (Miike interview and story board), behind the scenes, production stills, campaign artwork and photo gallery.
