Launching the trilogy with a mix of black-and-white noir and pop‑art swagger, THE MOST TERRIBLE TIME IN MY LIFE channels the wild energy of Seijun Suzuki and the gumshoe grit of Mickey Spillane. When Maiku Hama saves a Taiwanese immigrant, he’s dragged into a spiraling pan-Asian, brother‑against‑brother gang feud, turning Yokohama’s backstreets into a battleground of divided loyalties — in deadpan style. Featuring special appearances by Shinya Tsukamoto (dir. TETSUO, THE IRON MAN) and Joe Shishido (star of BRANDED TO KILL).
