GOZU (2003)
When yakuza enforcer Minami is ordered to dispose of his increasingly unstable mentor, Ozaki, a mysterious disappearance sends him on a journey into a bizarre rural town where reality begins to dissolve. As his search descends into a surreal nightmare filled with eccentric strangers, grotesque visions, and impossible encounters, Minami finds himself trapped in one of cinema's most unforgettable fever dreams. Directed by Takashi Miike, GOZU is a wildly imaginative blend of psychological horror, pitch-black comedy, and Lynchian surrealism that stands as one of the director's most daring and acclaimed works.
New Wave Video is proud to present this special edition of one of the most surreal films ever made, meticulously restored by New Wave Video from the only surviving film elements.
