What Fudoh: The New Generation Is About

Fudoh: The New Generation, directed by Takashi Miike and adapted from Hitoshi Tanimura's unfinished manga Fudō, follows a high school student who, having witnessed his father kill his own brother as a child, builds an army of underage killers, ranging from armed five year olds to a young assassin, to pursue his revenge. The film was originally planned for Japan's direct-to-video V-Cinema sector, but producers deemed it too good for that format and released it theatrically instead, marking one of the turning points in Miike's move from video into theaters and international festival circulation. The film screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in 1997. Who it's for: anyone curious about the turning point film that launched a director's international recognition, an extremely violent yakuza revenge story. Who it's not for: viewers wanting soft, indirect depictions of violence, since the film contains scenes censor boards have directly flagged.
