"From Gore to Westerns: An Incisive Afternoon with Director Takashi Miike" Lecture
Japan Society Gallery
This event has ended.
From the gory horror of "Audition" (1999) to the spaghetti western parody "Sukiyaki Western Django" (2007) to the musical comedy "The Happiness of the Katakuris" (2001), Japan’s busiest film director Takashi Miike has made over 50 films in the widest range of possible genres. His razor-sharp, most absurd and yet entertaining style of filmmaking makes him one of the most distinctive directors working today, and this has brought a whole new type of international, enthusiastic, young followers to contemporary Japanese films. In this incisive afternoon, Miike will speak in depth on his filmmaking behind-the scenes. Followed by a reception.
