The Guys from Paradise

You rent a rental car to drive three ex-cons from Tokyo to Fukuoka. They’re on parole but need to claim a body first. The highway hums with neon motels and endless rain. An American detective tails you from Nagoya. Miike’s camera lingers on vending-machine glow like it’s charting a country half in shadow.
