The prolific Japanese director Takashi Miike is famous for his 1999 horror film Audition till date. He makes movies with passion and with such a fearsome reputation that some hardcore terror fans are still looking for the right moments to actually watch it.

But Takashi Miike has worked in a number of genres and given his expert guidance to some 100 movies and TV shows. His latest film, First Love, is a comedy-crime thriller — albeit an extreme one sometimes, looking by its trailer.

When a scheme by the low-level yakuza Kase (Shota Sometani) is in a mess, a terminally ill boxer, Leo (Masataka Kubota), and a disturbed, drug-addicted call girl, Monica (Sakurako Konishi), find themselves caught in the crosshairs of two warring gangs. Over the course of the night, the duo fall passionately in love, while a hail of bullets and blood fall in the background.

First Love is screening at the Toronto International Film Festival and at Fantastic Fest, and will be ready to hit theaters on September 27.
