looking for articles on Miike

[Jim Harper]

Interesting article there. As several of the articles posted here suggest, it's perhaps not possible to simply characterize Miike's violence as 'gratuitious' and leave it at that. In his best or most developed works he clearly has a lot more going on that the casual presentation of ultraviolence.

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.
