Ichi: The Killer (2001)

Koroshiya Ichi / 殺し屋1

Information

Description

Blurb:
When a yakuza boss is murdered and his money is stolen, both truth and revenge are brutally sought. Leading the charge is Kakihara (Tadanobu Asano), the bleach-blonde pain junky whose interrogation methods are fetishistically sadistic. As the layers of the sordid tale are peeled back, it appears that someone is trying to turn rival gangs against each other. The centerpiece of this strategy is Ichi the Killer (Nao Omori), a mysterious and completely unhinged master of slaughter. When the final showdown comes, it’s a psychologically cataclysmic event. This one-of-a-kind, over-the-top, stomach-churning, live-action cartoon from Takashi Miike (VISITOR Q, IZO) remains an extreme and influential modern classic.
Covertext:
Als der Boss der gefürchteten Anjo-Gang spurlos mit einem Haufen Geld verschwindet, vermuten seine Yakuza-Mitglieder, dass er sich aus unerfindlichen Gründen abgesetzt hat. Nur der sadistische Emporkömmling Kakihara vermutet einen gezielten Mord an seinem Chef und verschafft sich brutal Informationen in der Unterwelt Tokios. Nach diversen Folterungen lüftet sich das Geheimnis: Ein extrem gewalttätig vorgehender Killer namens Ichi treibt sein Unwesen in den Kreisen der Yakuza. Kakihara sieht in dem Mythos Ichi einen würdigen Gegner und beginnt, ihn zu suchen. Doch der gefürchtete Superkiller ist in Wahrheit nur eine Marionette in einem gewagten Racheplan …
Testo di Dynit:
Benvenuti in un mondo dove la violenza è una virtù e la depravazione uno stile di vita.
Nei bassifondi di Shinjuku si scatena la guerra tra Kakihara, sadomasochista killer della yakuza, e Ichi, psicopatico assassino che affetta le sue vittime con lame micidiali.
