Now that I've seen so much Miike material, I can safely say that this is the best film he has been involved with, and that's quite an accomplishment.
It's funny, yet horrific, realistic yet surreal. It is rivaled only by Bizita Q and Ichi, in my eyes.
Just had to say it, couldn't hold back.

Although this one is certainly a very enjoyable and fresh film, Miike's best is undoubtedly "Box" from "Three Extremes". Pure cinema!
shareCompletely agree. "Box" is one of my favourite movies, because it is so flawless. "Katakuris" had some flaws that stood out... despite its best uber-hilarious moments.
shareYes, it is but they are so different from each other. Same director, I know, but completely different source material.
Katakuris is the best of its type that I have seen. Not saying it is THE best. Just from the films I have seen.
Audition is also one of the best of its type.
Audtion - Visitor Q - Dead Or Alive - Gozu - Masters Of Horror and this are of all very similar high quality Miike style. With this I believe there is a slight issue with production but saying that it was done quickly for a film of this nature and the casting was very adapt. I particularly enjoyed Grandpa's stick antics and admired the family concept more than other Miike films. A classic which is up there with much more over hyped films ie Shaun Of Dead.
shareI thought Audition was my favorite Miike movie, until I saw this. The faux-British guy was hilarious, right down to his "foreign" accent.

My Favorite is Visitor Q.
Audition isn't really on the same lines as Visitor Q, Ichi the Killer and Katakuris, but it is my second favorite.
Gozu is my fav Miike film
Next in order i like
Dead Or Alive 2
Happiness of the katikuris
Izo
Dead Or Alive Final
Ichi The Killer
¡Usted es ignorante y olor de los pescados de la tu madre
Twin Peaks rules
1. Audition
2. Gozu
3. Rainy Dog/Rekka Outlaw
4. Happiness
5. Blues Harp/Bird People Of China
Those are my personal 5 favorites. I also loved Dead or Alive2, Ichi, Yakuza Demon, Imprint, Visitor Q and the whole Black Society Triad trilogy.
Actually, come to think of it.. i have seen over 40 Miike movies and the only two i didnt like where Andromedia and Sliver/Silver!
You are the only person who has probably seen more than me, I am up to 30 or so, but all of them have been in the theater. You mention 4 in your Top 5 (7) that I haven't seen, so hopefully one day they will play in theaters here!
shareThis is one of my favorite Miike's films for sure.
