Yatter Man

After hits like Audition, Ichi The Killer and Sukiyaki Western Django, director Takashi Miike needs no introduction.

With this live action film adaptation of the popular anime series of the same name, he shows himself at his best again and guarantees another 2 hours of cult fun.

Expect an exuberant spectacle with old-school action heroes, crazy intergalactic brawls and an arsenal of hilarious dance moves that would not be out of place on the pre-selection of Idool – the Mars version, that is. Never before has film been so anime! (^o^)b

19:30: lecture by Tom Mes (www.midnighteye.com) about the exceptional and unique position that Miike holds within the Japanese film world – a world that has undergone profound changes in those twenty years.
