    Documentary about the yakuza genre in japannesse films.

    A very complete summary of the influence and evolution of the yakuzas and yakuza films in Japan. From their resurgence after WWII to their control of parts of the film industry to the fantasy that surrounds them now a days.

    The interviews include big names like Sonny Chiba and Takashi Miike, adding subjective views from the people that grew up with the genre to become part of it right next to the historical facts (or possible facts at least considering that mafias don't tend to be open about everything).

    This is a great film for any film enthusiast that wants to find out more about the genre. Way more enjoyable than reading a wikipedia article and possibly truer.
