Gozu focuses on a man who works for the mafia but is going crazy. He needs to be removed, which is not so easy. The film does not rely on an atmosphere of terror, but on the bizarre and strange. The characters that parade through here can really get under your skin because they are memorable, whether for good or bad reasons. Another example of how good Miike is, even if it doesn't suit everyone.
