Straight-A high school student by day and ruthless Yakuza leader by night,
Riki Fudoh will stop at nothing to achieve his maniacal ambitions. With
exotic skills, weaponry, and an extravagant gang, he expands his power in
the Yakuza underworld and takes down the kingpins of the Nioh clan. Takashi's
breakout film, the episodic Fudoh unfolds at a leisurely pace, refusing
to go into temporal overdrive and alternating deftly between delusions of
high drama and jack-in-the-box surprises. 1996, Japan, color, 35mm, in Japanese
with English subtitles, 98 minutes.
