Released during a landmark year for director Takashi Miike, Agitator (2001) is an epic crime drama that delves into the complex machinery of the Japanese underworld. Unlike the stylized madness of Ichi the Killer or the surrealism of The Happiness of the Katakuris released that same year, Agitator—originally titled Araburu tamashii-tachi—is a gritty, slow-burning yakuza saga. It pays homage to the legendary "jitsuroku" (true account) style of Kinji Fukasaku, focusing on power struggles and the collision between street-level loyalty and high-level corporate maneuvering.
