CITY OF LOST SOULS is
one of Takashi Miike's most entertaining films. While not possessing quite
the same intensity or shock value of other Miike masterpieces like DEAD OR
ALIVE, CITY...nevertheless is fastmoving, balances comic book tall tale
surrealism expertly with plenty of violence, sick humor as well as the
doomed love story -- what more could you ask? It is NOT the run of the mill
generic, mediocre, forgettable action film that most great action film
directors are turning out these days. And it involves you with the
characters (a multi-ethnic melting pot -- which, as astounding as it may
seem to some incredulous viewers, is what major Japanese urban centers are
like in this day and age -- by the way, Brazil, home country of lead
halfbreed character, Mario, has one of the largest Japanese immigrant
populations in the world). If you enjoy Miike, don't miss this. It's his
most romantic film (!) without sacrificing any of the blood, the dark, dark
humor or bizarre imagery we've come to expect from this unpredictable
genius.
