I'm sure many are already familiar with the "unique" and often excessively violent works of Japanese director Takashi Miike. His yakuza and horror films like Ichi the Killer, Visitor Q, and Audition have made him famous throughout the world. Now he has made something different. Some reviewers are calling 13 Assassins Miike's "most restrained and mature work to date" but obviously they haven't seen The Bird People in China. To me, 13 Assassins doesn't look restrained at all.
Here's the trailer for the upcoming samurai epic from one of my favorite contemporary directors. It will be in North American theaters on April 29th.
This movie is actually a remake of a 1963 film directed by Eiichi Kudo with the same name. Here's the trailer for the original film.
