Product Description
Opening two episodes of Takashi Miike's shocking psychohorror mini-series. In 'Drifting Petals /Memories of Sin', a sadistic criminal is turning his victims into human flower pots. Detective Amamiya Kazuhiko (Naoki Hosaka) is called out of early retirement to work on the case, which is tied to horrific events in his past. His new wife goes missing and a mysterious cult with barcodes tattooed on their eyeballs surfaces to wreak havoc on the city. In 'How to Create a World', a brutal serial murderer is cutting babies from their mothers' wombs. All of the women have barcodes tattooed on their eyeballs - and the victims, under some sort of hypnosis, purchase the surgical quality knives used to kill them the day before their murders. As Amamiya's wife wanders the city in a trance, he discovers someone from his past is involved in the crime wave...

This dvd lured me in after already having seen Ichi the killer and Visitor Q. I knew I also would be in for a heck of a ride knowing Miike was involved in this. The covers give you an idea of what you are letting yourself in for also. From start to finish there is chaos, Takashi's usual strange humour is obvious particularly when a young model maker cant help but giggle when presenting a model relating to one of the murders. Also the different environments and use of overlays of rain when you know it isn't. Some scenes give a dream like impresson.The concept is strange but if youve seen other Miike work its not to hard to get into. The camera work is fantastic imaginative and creative. A definite must see if you are fed up with the usual british detective thriller.

this series is fundamentally the japanese "Twin Peaks". Miike has long been heralded the eastern David Lynch and nowhere is it more evident than in this mini-series following the surreal, dream-like,nightmarish investigations of the central cop who at his most street level position is indeed the agent cooper of this saga. As he and his naive protoge get further and further embroiled in the search for the modus operandi of the killer they encounter weird sects and all manner of apocalyptic scenarios. Alongside their adventures we are also drawn in to another detectives search for his real identity and a body hopping mischevious nemesis who may or may not be his missing identity and......oh i dont know, to be quite honest its all a beautiful mind warping mess. Just sit back and enjoy the organised chaos that is MPD PSYHO and sail away on the hypnotic theme tune that permeates the series from some distant shore. Miike at his most enigmatic.
