PRESS RELEASE: TAKASHI MIIKE'S BLACK SOCIETY TRILOGY

Takashi Miike’s Black Society Trilogy

After several years spent working almost exclusively in the direct-to-video world of "V-cinema" in Japan, Takashi Miike announced himself as a world-class filmmaking talent with this trio of thematically-connected, character-centric crime stories about violence, the underworld of Japanese society, families both real and surrogate, and the possibly hopeless task of finding one's place in the world.

Biriwita, the blue frog is considered normal in his own neck of the woods, but in Malawi, where green frogs are the norm, he might be thought of as unusual.

He is elated at being accepted, until he sees all the other frogs  - they're green and see him as weird, an outsider who will never be accepted by them as one of their own.
