Takashi Miike

Miike Takashi (Yao, Osaka, Japan, 1960) studied at the Imamura Shoei film school and later he spent almost a decade working in TV, before becoming an assistant director. The Japan Cinema boom of the early 90s was to be his break into directing his own films. His first theatrically distributed film was Shinjuku Triad Society (1995), and from then on he alternated TV films with higher budgeted pictures. His international breakthrough came with Audition (1999), which with Dead or Alive (2000) and Izo (2004), Big Bang Love, Juvenile A (2006), Sukiyaki Western Django (2007), 13 Assassins(2010), Yakuza Apocalypse (2015), and First Love (2019) allowed him to be considered one of the masters of the contemporary Japanese cinema. A prolific and indefatigable director, he has directed more than 60 films in 13 years.
