 "Ichi the Killer" is simply the Artaudian theater of cruelty replayed on celluloid, where cruelty, unlike the conception elaborated by the French writer, precisely means the sum of all the atrocities that man is capable of enacting, experiencing, as if that wasn't already enough, even a certain sexual pleasure in committing them.

 'Imprint' is the latest great film in chronological order from the hyperproductive Japanese master Takashi Miike, one of the best filmmakers of the "macabre" genre that we have at the moment on planet Earth.
