Starting off his career in the B-Movie, genre-based V-Cinema industry in Japan, Takashi Miike’s career has grown and grown since his brand of filmmaking gained him global notoriety; his films now -rightly or wrongly – are some of the most anticipated Japanese films globally. But “Shinjuku Triad Society” – his lucky thirteenth directing credit in his hundred-plus career – is not just the starting point of his “Black Society” trilogy, but also the start of his career as a director being viewed more seriously.
Kiriya (Kippei Shiina) is a Taiwanese-Japanese detective: something which sees him as something of a lone wolf with few kindred spirits. Investigating the Triads of Shinjuku, his younger brother Yoshihito (Shinsuke Izutsu), a lawyer, begins to become involved with those he pursues. His investigations, therefore, become much more personal into the dealings and life of the mysterious Triad boss Wang (regular odd-ball Tomoro Taguchi).

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit platforms. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only). Check out our rundown for this week’s selections below.
78/52 (Alexandre Philippe)
There’s been documentaries that analyze entire cinematic movements, directors, actors, writers, specific films, and more aspects of filmmaking, but it’s rare to see a feature film devoted to a single scene. With 78/52, if the clunky title addition didn’t tell you already, it explores the infamous shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho with exacting precision and depth. Featuring interviews with Jamie Lee Curtis, Guillermo del Toro,...

Takashi Miike will always be an interesting director for me. My gateway into his world was with Audition, but Ichi the Killer teased me into his world of the Yakuza and the Triad. Now with Arrow’s release of Black Society Trilogy we get to see a more controlled set of films, which still aren’t afraid to delve into some surreal Miike ultra violence.
Black Society Trilogy consists of Shinjuku Triad Society, Rainy Dog, and Ley Lines. Although seen as a trilogy, the only thing that actually connects the three are the themes of race, family, and the outsiders.
Shinjuku Triad Society is the tale of two brothers, a cop and a lawyer whose relationship is pulled apart during a war between the Triads and Yakuza. The cop, on the hunt for a killer also in the business of trafficking children’s organs fights to pull his brother out of the world,...

To celebrate the release of Takashi Miike’s Black Society Trilogy - out on DVD & Blu-Ray from 16th January – we are giving away a Blu-ray copy courtesy of Arrow Video!
After several years spent working almost exclusively in the direct-to-video world of “V-cinema” in Japan, Takashi Miike announced himself as a world-class filmmaking talent with this trio of thematically-connected, character-centric crime stories about violence, the underworld of Japanese society, families both real and surrogate, and the possibly hopeless task of finding one’s place in the world. His first films made specifically for theatrical release, and his first for a major studio, the Black Society Trilogy was the beginning of Miike’s mature career as a filmmaker and they remain among the prolific director’s finest works.
Set in the bustling Kabuki-cho nightlife neighborhood of Tokyo, Shinjuku Triad Society follows a mixed-race cop (Kippei Shiina, Outrage) struggling with private issues...
