Black Society Trilogy (1990’s) (Japanese)
Takashi Miike’s famous trilogy!
If you’re a fan of Miike, these come recommended. All three films are solid works which show how he’s developed as a film-maker, and showcase different facets which prove he’s much more than a sex ‘n’ violence purveyor. Not that these films will be mistaken for Disney flicks, of course. Novices to his offbeat world should probably start with Shinjuku Triad Society, as it’s the most accessible, and work out from there. You’ll soon discover that no-one in the West makes films anything like Takashi Miike.
The first film in this collection does follow in the vein of dead or alive and ichi the killer in its subversive, twisting craziness. However, the second film, Rainy Dog, is much more conventional character study, and far less extreme than the majority of Miike’s work. This film is beautiful and leisurely paced, using the literary device of pathetic falicy, where the external rain of the environment parallels the emotional states of its central characters. Ley lines is harder hitting with its look at racial bigotry, through its use of sex and violence. All three films are of his best caliber work and solidify the character’s feelings of alienation by their own systems (governmental,yakuza/organized crime,family,racial circles).

Election (2005) (Chinese)
Johnnie To’s gritty take on triad warfare is full of cinematic storytelling, deadpan absurdities, and disturbingly cool criminals. It’s also a well-made kick in the teeth for a film industry that’s been languishing for too long. Election does end on a shocking, though thematically appropriate downer, and a lot of minor developments seem to get introduced then promptly ignored. Still, this is as good as Hong Kong Cinema gets nowadays.
