Although the word “overkill” can be used to describe practically any of Takashi Miike’s films, in some ways, the director’s brutal, 2 1/2-hour sword-fight fantasy “Blade of Immortal” takes the notion to another level. For the ultra-prolific 56-year-old workhorse, his 100th feature is executed with “business as usual” craftsmanship. Miike’s first samurai film since “Hara-kiri: Death of a Samurai” (2011) and “Thirteen Assassins” (2010) marks a clear departure from the measured classicism of those two films. Instead, the story of a Wolverine-like swordsman with the capacity to self-heal delves into an aesthetic of pain, showing a twisted fascination in the hero’s bloody gashes and mutilations.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
