Alright sports fans. Now that we've finished the first stop on the Friday Train to Nowhere, it is time to announce tonight's second feature. This next film is very dear to my heart and is what I consider to be the masterpiece of famed Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike. No it isn't Audition, while Audition is perhaps one of the most suspenseful and disturbing films of all time... it doesn't hold a candle to our next film City of Lost Souls.
City provides the audience with everything it could possibly want... love, violence, comedy. It focuses on the story of two star crossed lovers. The chinese Kei and Brazilian born Mario... two lovers living in a society that does not accept them. The film follows their flight to be together as Yakuzoa, Triad, and the government attempt to stop them. It's time to sit back and enjoy the cockfights, ping pong to the death, and dirty japanese bathroom humor as we take in this masterpiece of love and symbolism.
