When a former one night stand catches up with an outcast Yakuza
called Yuji is unexpectedly saddled with what may be his real
son. A sense of responsibility is born in Yuji, as he uses
his lethal skills to find some sort of haven for his newly
found family...
The
second of Miike's Black Society Trilogy continues the
theme of alienation and revolves around an outcast Yakuza;
Yuji, who lives as a hit man on the fringes of the Taiwanese
criminal world.
Rainy
Dog is an altogether more sombre affair than the first
and deals
with the delicate relationship between a son who does not
know his father and a father who is not sure he wants the
son but must save his honour and find safety for his family.
But as with all Miike's films not everything is as it seems.
There are plenty of shocks and twists to make you wriggle
before you get too comfortable. This is a tale that will melt
your heart as well as your eyeballs.
The
DVD itself has all the usual Artsmagic staples. Once again
Tom Mes provides another excellent commentary track. There
are also interviews with the director and the editor. Picture
quality is what you would expect from a low budget film such
as this and the sound is adequate.
All
in all, this is an excellent piece of work from Miike and
a very worthy addition to the trilogy and hopefully your film
collection.
