Made in 2004 and opening at Two Boots Theater in New York on August
15th, “Zebraman” is Takashi Miike’s 64th film. For those who are not
familiar with his work, he can best be described as the Japanese second
cousin to Tim Burton, David Lynch, John Waters and David Cronenberg.
Stylistically, Miike movies are a mixture of surrealism and farce, while
thematically they often touch upon horror, sexual obsession, gangster
vendettas, and titanic clashes between super-heroes and super-villains.
If you love Merchant-Ivory films, you will hate Takashi Miike.
Fortunately, I hate Merchant-Ivory.
