Gozu (2003, Japanese)

Imagine that David Lynch goes to Japan. Once there, he heads out to the sticks and drops a lot of acid. Then he has to outrun some bloodthirsty yakuza while simultaneously attempting to work out his long-suppressed sexual issues.

Or, you could just imagine a perfectly typical Takashi Miike movie. If you’re into really, really twisted shit, then you’ll loooove Gozu. The first ten minutes had me falling off the couch, and the last ten had me hiding under it. Fantastic.
