Japanese film industry all but dead

[Mark Mays]

I would say "potential" is just a bit of an understatement.

  I agree about the Japanese (Non-animated) Film Industry being nearly dead, but for me a hopeful star with potential is the director Takashi Miike. Not that his films so far were perfect, but I don't see any other japanese director at the moment with that much drive, courage and innovation. 

  I saw a review at http://www.comicscommunity.com/boards/pop/?noframes;read=25993 
  by Mark Schilling 
  (though I don't think Miike just made another Samurai Genre movie. Miike usually tends to mix genres wildly)
