Review of The Bird People in China (1998) by Tom M — 16 Aug 2007
Despite Miike's name being synonymous with twisted depravity this really proves it all wrong and establishes him as a truly legendary director able to sucessfully turn his hand at any genre. Some beautiful poetic images are captured and a genuinely touching and enjoyable journey of 2 characters lovingly developed throughout.
Miike's dishes out cultural clashes (Japanese in China etc) and references, again not fully comprehensible to Western audiences but maybe not very subtle for Eastern.
