The City of Lost Souls

Hotheaded Mario is a Japanese-Brazilian daredevil fighting to save his true love, Chinese hairdresser Kei. After he stages a daring helicopter- and machine gun rescue to prevent her deportation, the two hide out in the back alleys the cultural and criminal melting pot of Tokyo. They need money for passports and bribes in order to stow away on a ship promising freedom.

Miike orchestrates a symphony of excess with outrageous and bloody crescendos of S/M-obsessed gang lords, break dance duels, cockfights (starring Japan's most famous journalist Tokitoshi Shiota), pingis tournanents and toilet-bowl beating. The City of the Lost Souls is a delirious tale of love and violence set to a karaoke samba-beat love song.
