Mochizuki Rokuro cut his directorial teeth on Japanese porn films, before turning his attention almost exclusively to the Yakuza genre. Consciously eschewing most artistic conventions, his work gives a frank treatment to the brutal violence they depict, but turn upon subtly drawn characterizations, with stories that rely heavily on the intricacies of relationships. This collection presents Mochizuki's most acclaimed films: ONIBI: THE FIRE WITHIN, MOBSTERS' CONFESSIONS, ANOTHER LONELY HITMAN, and YAKUZA IN LOVE. Please see individual titles for complete synopsis information.
