Tokyo Tribe

Mind-blowing yakuza hip hop musical set in a near-future Tokyo on the verge of all-out gang war.

Oh no, we hear you cry, not another yakuza hip-hop musical... Well, bear with us. Maturing wunderkind Sion Sono (Love Exposure, Why Don’t You Go Play in Hell?) shows the full extent of his talents – and the limits of his maturity – with this delirious trip through Tokyo’s underworld. Set somewhere in the near future, in a city on the verge of all-out gang war, the film boasts a multitude of offbeat characters and jaw-dropping moments, along with a smidgen of Satanism and some literally lethal breakdancing.

Dir: Sion Sono Japan 2014, 116 mins Cert: 18
