Description
TOKYO TRIBENEW YORK PREMIERESION SONO, 2014 | CAST: RYOHEI SUZUKI, DAIS YOUNG, NANA SEINO, SHUNSUKE DAITO, TAKUYA ISHIDA, YUI ICHIKAWA, MIKA KANO, SHOTA SOMETANI, SHOKO NAKAGAWA, RYUTA SATO JAPAN | JAPANESE WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | FORMAT: DCP | 116 MINUTESJust when you thought that Sion Sono’s work couldn’t get any crazier and more imaginative—after 2013’s Why Don’t You Play in Hell?—Tokyo Tribe comes along. A berserk hip-hop musical action drama about warring gangs in a near-future Tokyo told almost entirely in rap, the film is populated by a gallery of offbeat and over-the-top characters, all competing for the control of the dystopian megalopolis, and eventually forced to unite to fight a bigger evil. Based on the popular manga series Tokyo Tribe 2 by Santa Inoue, Tokyo Tribe has a large cast that includes Shota Sometani as the movie’s MC, Riki Takeuchi (Takashi Miike’s Dead or Alive) as the sleazy Lord Bubba, Ryohei Suzuki (Hentai Kamen: Forbidden Superhero) as a blond-haired testosterone-charged gang leader, Nana Seino (Danger Dolls) as the main heroine, and rapper-actor Dais Young.So let Master Sono transport you to a world full of killer rhymes, B-boy battles, high-kicking girls, pervy silliness, wild action (choreographed by Tak Sakaguchi, working under a pseudonym), and packed with so many baroque visual flourishes that the entire movie feels like Versailles stabbing you in both eyes, as you keep asking for more.Image Credits: (c) 2014 TOKYO TRIBE FILM PARTNERS
