From the gory horror of Audition<\/em> (1999) to the spaghetti western parody Sukiyaki Western Django<\/em> (2007) to the musical comedy The Happiness of the Katakuris<\/em> (2001), Japan’s busiest film director Takashi Miike<\/strong> has made over 50 films in the widest range of possible genres. His razor-sharp, most absurd and yet entertaining style of filmmaking makes him one of the most distinctive directors working today, and this has brought a whole new type of international, enthusiastic, young followers to contemporary Japanese films. In this incisive afternoon, Miike will speak in depth on his filmmaking behind-the scenes.
