Miike Takashi is proving as prolific and controversial as ever, with his latest effort,
Lesson Of The Evil, already cued up for a November release in his native Japan. Continuing the high school setting of his last film, the fabulous gang war musical,

Lesson Of The Evil is a pitch black comedy that owes a serious debt to both Fukasaku Kinji's
