GOZU (Gokudo Kyofu Daigekijo: Gozu)
(Japan, 2003) Dir.: Miike Takashi; Scr.: Sato Sakichi
Mob lieutenant Ozaki has lost it. Deranged and paranoid, he sees a harmless pet as a lethal attack dog. His boss decides he must be put down, and delegates Minami to escort him to the yakuza dump in Nagoya. It’s an onerous job for Minami, who feels he owes his “elder brother” loyalty, but things look up when Ozaki appears to peg out in the car as they arrive in Nagoya. But then his corpse goes missing, and Minami faces the challenge of finding it to authenticate Ozaki’s demise.
