What a delightful and complete surprise coming out of Takashi Miike! The first part of the movie is hilarious. I was thinking it would look like this if Herzog and Kinski were accidentally cast as the two protagonists in a Takashi Yakuza movie! At the end, I decided that this film is very Fellini-esque. Sure, there's the obvious capitalist vs Nature struggle on the surface. But the story has something much deeper…
