Gozu

One of the weirdest Takashi Miike films, therefore weird enough to weird out David Lynch. A yakuza called Minami is instructed to kill and dispose of a anniki and friend, whose mind seems to have seen sounder times, times when he did not identify poor little doggies as "yakuza attack dogs" that only attack yakuza and did not proceed to slaughter them, hopefully.
Anyway, Minami accidentally kills his brother and loses the body on the way to the yakuza deposition facility. This is the beginning of Minami's odyssey in search of the corpse through Nagoya and most of Miike's obsessions and some really indescribable scenes. It all culminates in a weird (and I mean weird) sex/birthing sequence.
Personally, I haven't the slightest clue what any of this means, but who cares? Miike certainly doesn't.

Darling of the Day:
"You aren't from Nagoya, are you?"
