Agitator
Thank you and fuck you brother
Directed by Takashi Miike
Produced by Daiei Film
A brutal yakuza revenge saga steeped in blood and masculine grief, where loyalty and honor spiral into cycles of escalating violence.
When a young yakuza torments the customers in a rival crime family's nightclub, it is not long before his dead body is found. Soon, inter-family retaliation follows, resulting in the death for a prominent crime boss. Devastated by this turn of events, the temperamental Kenzaki vows to avenge his boss's death and, as bloody violence ensues, the body count reaches excessive proportions.
