Swordplay, Gunplay And Black Comedy In The New Blood-Soaked Trailer For WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IN HELL?

Director Sono Sion‘s latest new piece of film continues to bring even more levels of sick, twisted, dark comedy and violence with a new trailer for Why Don’t You Play In Hell?. The new trailer is pure, classic Japanese action and comedy with unrelenting execution and outrageous whimsicality and ridiculousness that you will either love or hate. Either way, it looks freaking genius!

Japan will get a chance to see it starting September 28, 2013, and I cannot wait until it makes its way overseas, as it looks like it will make a great start for my own introduction into this filmmaker’s work, going into the upcoming release of Tokyo Tribes next year. Take a look at trailer at the bottom of the page and be excited.

SYNOPSIS:

Muto (Jun Kunimura) and Ikegami (Shinichi Tsutsumi) are two gangsters who hate each other, but Ikegami is in love with Muto’s actress daughter Michiko (Fumi Nikaido). Meanwhile, Muto attempts to make his wife Shizue’s (Tomochika) dream come true which is to have their daughter appear in a movie.

Koji (Gen Hoshino), who is just a passerby, is mistaken for a movie director. Koji then requests to independent film director Hirata (Hiroki Hasegawa) to cast Michiko as the leading actress in his film. Their situation soon goes completely wrong.
