About

'A group of bumbling filmmakers aspire to create the ultimate action film, while rival yakuza gangs continue a bitter feud. When the daughter of a yakuza boss demands the heroine's role in an epic film, the hapless film crew are enlisted to create a bloody masterpiece… and so all hell breaks loose. With life imitating art in a battle to the death, who will be the last one standing? Part homage (or requiem) to 35mm film and part bloodbath, Why Don't You Play in Hell? is a bizarre showcase of gangster violence taken to comic extremes. Director Sion Sono is one of the most prolific and fearless auteurs in Japan today, and this genre-defying offering is sure to have Tarantino fans (and even Tarantino himself) begging for more.'
