Famed Japanese auteur Takashi Miike, who is best known for cult classics such as Audition, Ichi: the Killer, and Children of Lost Souls, brings a fresh new look at the beloved spaghetti Western genre in Sukiyaki Western Django. Two clans, Genji, the white clan led by Yoshitsune, and Heike, the red clan led by Kiyomori, battle for a legendary treasure hidden in a poor mountain town. One day a lone gunman, burdened with deep emotional scars but blessed with incredible shooting skills, drifts into town. Expectations reach a boiling point as everyone wonders which gang the gunman will finally decide to join. Dirty tricks, betrayal, desire, and love collide as the situation erupts into a final, explosive showdown.
Quentin Tarantino reckons Miike is one of the best directors ever, and even lends his considerable acting skills as a mark of respect. Think 300 meets Tombstone with a bit of KillBill thrown in...

1 mumbles or rants about it:
Ive seen 2 Miike films. Audition and Itchi the Killer. So were fucking off-the-wall I dont know what to say about them. Audition was uncomfortable so say the least!!
But Ichi is pure OTT madness, with death, blood, and bodily fluids in equal measures lol
If Im after a head-fuck, I may well give this one a whirl! lol
