looking for articles on Miike

[Tom Mes]

Hi Colin,

Have a look at this essay by one of your countrymen as well. Not sure if it 
does what you want it to do, but as with Aaron's excellent article, it does 
attempt to show there's a bit of substance to the issue:

Not sure if you're going to convince your television broadcaster, though. 
Gratuitous violence is just too good a subject.

Tom
