Dead Or Alive (1999)

DEAD OR ALIVE Released the same year as his iconic AUDITION, DEAD OR ALIVE finds outlaw filmmaker Takashi Miike at his most outlaw-iest. DOA will fry your synapses and melt your brain from beginning to end with its blood-soaked ultra-violence, dark comedy, and an earth-shattering climax that leaves nothing unscathed. "Takashi is a master of the jagged quick cut and the shocker finish, and his head-spinning story is pumped up with almost more bravado than a single screen can handle.” - NY Times “A pivotal project in the development of Miike’s sensibility. For someone on his wild and amazingly dexterous wavelength, this represents nirvana: a hit of pure aesthetic cocaine.” - SLANT COME EARLY! Doors 6:30pm, pre-show 7pm
