THE MAIKU HAMA TRILOGY

THE MOST TERRIBLE TIME IN MY LIFE

Directed by Kaizo Hayashi

Japan, 1993, 1h 32min, DCP, In Japanese with English subtitles.

THE MAIKU HAMA TRILOGY

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

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).
