FNC – Violent Streets

Histoires du cinéma

A reformed criminal opens a bar in a world ruled by violence. But his past soon catches up with him. Revenge, kidnapping, robbery and a gang war all converge on a man who, for a brief moment, just dreams of being someone else. When legendary filmmaker Hideo Gosha (Samurai Wolf, also screening this year) tackles a yakuza film, he makes it radical and outrageous (read: hard-hitting and gory). In this ultimate cult classic that recalls the best of Sam Peckinpah, men’s souls waver between filth and grandeur.
