First Love 初恋
The Japan Foundation, Toronto is pleased to co-present with the Japanese Cultural Centre the sixth of the Virtual JCCC Film Screenings.
First Love 初恋
A doomed boxer and a drug-addled call girl fall in love over one wild night in the Tokyo underbelly as they are pursued by corrupt cops, warring Yakuza, Triad gangs, a beautiful Chinese assassin and a bizarre underwear-clad spectre. A Tarantino-style roller-coaster ride, Miike’s latest is a furiously paced, hilarious, bloody and surprising poignant romance.

In Japanese with English Subtitles / 115 minutes
