First Love 15
Enjoy the prolific director Takashi Miike at his most playful and chaotic. First Love is a noir-tinged, genre-blending yakuza film about a young boxer and a call girl, who fall in love while getting innocently caught up in a drug-smuggling scheme over the course of one night in Tokyo.
Just in case you’re itching for some extra viewing material, Miike recently suggested 5 films about love and violence to watch before First Love – and they aren’t all his own!
