Synopsis: An outrageous contemporary Japenese genre-mongrel, Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl combines sentimental Yakuza gangster machismo with the fatalistic romance of the road movie and the dead-pan irreverence of vanguard Asian action cinema. Director Katsuhito Ishii pulls out all the stops in re-imagining Minetaro Mochizuki's popular Manga comic bookifor the screen, creating an avalanche of giddily graphic violence and a melee of offbeat gun-crazy characters.
From the Yakuza assassins' color-coordinated guns to the shadow-dappled forests in which the film is set, Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl bursts with an urgently hypnotic collision of wild styles and flights of visual imagination.
