• Gonin | DVD | (27/12/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Takashi Ishii's visually sumptuous gangster movie Gonin ("The Five") is fascinating in its violence, its perversity and its quirkiness, even though its basic plot premise is fairly standard. Disco owner Bandai (Kouichi Sato) owes money to the yakuza boss Ogoshi and decides to rob him rather than pay him--the first part of the film shows him recruiting a crew of the damaged and despairing to help with the job, and disaster follows. Ogoshi hires the more or less unstoppable one-eyed hit man Kyoya ("Beat" Takeshi) and everyone ends up dead--robbers, gangsters and assassins--in an escalating sequence of reprisals. What is different about the film is the odd tangents the plot shoots off at--the sudden sexual attraction between Bandai and the con-man Mitsuya, the truth about the phone calls the desperate sacked salary man Ogiwara keeps making to his family--and its strong visual style. Crucial events take place in the background of shots, the sudden shift from neon-lit back al! leys to sunlight in the last sequence hits you like a blow in the face. Terrifying in its casual violence and impressive in its bleak nihilism, Gonin is one of the most interesting genre films of the 1990s.--Roz Kaveney

• Sakuran | DVD | (12/01/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Sakuran follows the ascent of Kiyoha (Anna Tsuchiya Kamikaze Girls) a rebellious and feisty girl sold to a brothel in the notorious Yoshiwara district; a nightlife zone that served both the elites and working classes for hundreds of years. Kiyoha rises through the ranks of the competitive brothel initially as the house girl of an established courtesan learning the trade and eventually becoming Oiran - the preeminent courtesan of the brothel. Headstrong and independent from the outset Kiyoha is choosy about her customers and defiant to her employers and fellow courtesans; she wants to find her own freedom rather than have a rich merchant buy it for her. Adapted from the Manga comic series by Moyoco Anno and directed by acclaimed photographer Mika Ninagawa Sakuran is a tour de force of new Japanese film and music talent.
