New GinZame

A disgraced yakuza enforcer, freed from prison, finds himself embroiled in a bizarre and violent conflict involving a sentient, parasitic alien amoeba that grants immense power but also a horrific transformation. He must team up with a quirky detective and a host of other strange characters to stop the amoeba from consuming the city.

New GinZame, also known as "The Bird People", is a cult favorite, polarizing audiences with its extreme gore, surreal humor, and gonzo narrative. Critics often lauded its unique vision and audacious filmmaking, though many found its relentless absurdity and violence to be overwhelming. It's a prime example of Takashi Miike's most outrageous and unforgettable work.

• A chaotic, hyper-violent, and darkly comedic sci-fi/yakuza mashup.

• Miike's signature blend of extreme gore and surreal humor is on full display.

• An acquired taste, but rewarding for fans of extreme cinema.

Google audience: Audiences largely appreciate the film's unique blend of genres and its sheer audacity, finding it entertainingly bizarre and over-the-top. However, some viewers found the extreme violence and nonsensical plot to be off-putting.

The film is a loose remake of the 1974 cult classic 'The Bird People in China' by Kazuo 'Gaira' Komizu, but heavily re-imagined with Miike's signature style.
