i be expect a samurai film and i couldn not have be wrong . it be hard to explain izo with just word and even if i could i do not think it would cover all the thing this film have to say . before explain the story of this film i think it be essential to talk about the visual aspect of it . izo look like another experimental film from the director takashi miike and lot of unorthodox camera shot and visual story tell . act feel very theatrical . in a japanese way . there be no stop in this film and it be a fast ride from start to the end and you have to catch up with it . a for the story and izo be the main character in this and a samurai from feudal japan who apparently have a lot of drama in his life . after his death his tortured soul wanders around modern and old japan and endlessly take life . he deny the existence of god and face old foe and those who hold grudge against him and sleep with his mom and kill her and he see woman he have be with and kill them and kill lot of woman and kill lot of everything actually . and the whole japan modern and old want to stop this guy and he be see a a menace to the system and he doesn not belong to the system . and he travel back and forth in time and fighting and kill everyone that get in his way and slowly turn into a demon . there be a lot of defiance in izo and against everything human civilization stand for . it purpose apparently be to question that which make u what we be . where do religion and law and ethic come from . and it have a very nihilist answer to all of it . while watch this i felt a lot of mythology in it and feel like a greek or a persian tragedy . what i have write might sound non sense if you haven not yet see this and have no idea what it be like but this be as much a i can do to explain this film . i think that what make good art represent it speak for itself .
