Agitator (DVD)

In this epic of Yakuza honour, betrayal and bloodshed, maverick director Takashi Miike creates uncompromisingly original take on the Japanese gangster movie... When a young Yakuza torments the customers in a rival crime family's nightclub, it is not long before his dead body is found. Soon, inter-family retaliation follows, resulting in the death of a prominent crime boss. Devastated by this turn of events, the temperamental Kenzaki vows to avenge his boss's death and, as bloody violence ensues, the body count reaches excessive proportions. Ranging from the darkly comedic to the violently stylish, this is a twisted trip through the tattoo-strewn, bullet-ridden world of the Japanese Yakuza that will leave you stunned and surprised!
