The Bird People of China (1998). More incredible fare from the inimitable Takashi Miike. This guy is the master of, well, everything. How he blends fantasy, indecency, sucker-punch violence, and a wicked story-telling capacity is beyond me. But it works. This is probably one of his more approachable movies, at least here in the west. But that does not take anything away from this flick. In fact, i would contend that this is one of his most moving ventures. The cinematography was resplendent, the story solid, and the acting competent. of course the direction was incredible. All in all a wonderful movie-going experience. Mercie beaucoup.
