Digital cinema presentation. Love is painful and NOT for the faint of heart. Warring yakuza clans pit crime bosses against one another through deception and rumor. At the center of it all is the homicidal, unhinged Ichi. Warped by the rival gangs and their desire for ultimate power, Ichi is seduced by their psychological manipulation that catapults him into an enraged spree of pop art assassinations, in search for redemption and answers for his life.
Based from the acclaimed manga of HIDEO YAMAMOTO and grated through the eye-popping prolific lens of filmmaker TAKASHI MIIKE, this sensationalist turn at gangster noir offers a unique vantage point from the new millennium.
