ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
Rokuro Mochizuki shares honours with Takashi Miike as being one of the two most important yakuza film directors of modern Japan. Moving on from his award-winning ONIBI, in MOBSTERS’ CONFESSIONS he pushes the genre further by throwing the strict code of the yakuza straight out the window!
Small-time con man, Jiro (Shunsuke Matsuoka), makes his living tricking small businesses out of large sums of money. In the process he acquires a helpmate Kumiko, a refugee from her stepfather’s sexual abuse.
But things start to get out of control when yakuza boss Kamewada (Shohei Hino), muscles in on the action. |
