Manda's Favorite Movies
Koroshiya 1 (Ichi the Killer)
R
This movie satisfies the sides of me that loves Asian Extreme, torture, gore and insanity. With the amazing Asano Tadanobu as Kakihara - who leads you into Miike Takashi's world of Yakuza torture and crime - it's a trainwreck you're not sure you even WANT to pull your eyes from
All About Lily Chou-Chou (Riri Shushu no subete)
Unrated
Only not receiving a full 5 because of it's tedious pacing, Lily Chou-Chou is one of the most emotive Japanese movies I have ever seen. Yuichi shrivels and all but physically dies in the world of pain and crime he never wanted to be caught up in, his only comfort being the ethereal singer Lily Chou-Chou.
