Toronto line-up so far

[Julien Seveon]

I'm not sure, but are you talking about the "new" Miike film, Ichi The 
Killer ? I've seen it two weeks ago and must admit that the level of 
violence is indeed pretty high. At first the film rather look as a very dark 
comedy than a straight nasty violent film - although the gore scenes are 
only attended for strong at heart viewers ! But, after a while, the violence 
really get to me and by the end I was really feeling bad. I don't want to 
say too much about it, in order not to give up any surprise, but the final 
scenes were just too much for me. Did I like the movie ? I'm not sure 
exactly what to think of it. If you're looking for a good shocker then Ichi 
is a film you don't want to miss. Otherwise most people would probably want 
to stay away from it.
In any case Miike is definitly the most surprising director I've ever seen !
