Blues Harp

Takashi Miike directs, so you already know this is not your grandma's musical. Kenji, a young yakuza, finds his career ambitions complicated by a tender friendship with Chuji, a blues harmonica player in deep with the competition. It's sweet until the bullets start flying, which, of course, they do.
