i've been studying this guy for a theory project on my a level film and video course and he;s bloody amazing
check out what he's done over the years
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001429/
he;s also written over 50 books from novels to film crits
he's damn amazing lol
most of you will probably recognise him fromm the battle royale films but i strongly suggest you go and buy his films simply because they are just brilliant

zatoichi is a fooking brilliant film.
the old series of flicks (not takeshi) is a wicked story too if anyone's completely addicted (like i used to be

i'm pretty much studying japanese films on my own as i failed my film studies class cuz i wasnt too interested in finding out about hollywood film industry or british film industry
it was interesting for w a while but...yeh
i have watched alot of takeshi kitano films and loads of asian films simply because im utterly obsessed with alot of asian things....WOOH
i think the old series of zatoichi did get a bit repetative towards the last film in 89 but they were a good laugh lol
i'm sure everyones seen the classic seven samurai film and lots more of akiras work.....genius
anyone a takashi miike fan?
ichi the killer audition etc
and how about kim ki duk a korean director, if you havent seen any of his films go rent 3 iron....AMAZING stuff
oh and keep your eyes on the video section as i'm releasing another video soon
