Eihi shiina biography of michael

Japanese cult director Yoshihiro Nishimura has just completed shooting his segment of international horror anthology project The Profane Exhibit and he has enlisted a familiar face to help him do so. Nishimura's Tokyo Gore Police star Eihi Shiina - best known for her lead role in Takashi Miike's Audition - once again takes the lead for the director in The Hell-Chef.

Serial killing and cannibalism meet gourmet cooking in Yoshihiro Nishimura's JIGOKU NO CHORISHI (The Chef of Hell / The Hell-Chef), a fetishistic tale of murder, suicide and madness set in contemporary Tokyo. Iconic actress Eihi Shiina (AUDITION, TOKYO GORE POLICE, HELLDRIVER) stars as a mysterious, parasol-carrying woman who encounters a school uniform-wearing, wrist-cutter girl on the street, only to watch her escort a man back to her apartment and murder him. But when he proves to be not as dead as he looks, the parasol woman decides to instruct the younger girl in the arts of cannibal cookery, though that also doesn't go quite as well as initially expected...

Tokyo Gore Police director Yoshihiro Nishimura and his Sushi Typhoon cohorts are currently in San Diego for the Comic-Con - details on that below - and to whet the appetite on what you may find there, ScreenAnarchy has just been provided with a series of exclusive behind the scenes stills from Nishimura's upcoming zombie apocalypse Helldriver.  And included in those behind the scenes shots are up close and person looks at Audition star Eihi Shiina as the Zombie Queen and lead actress Yumiko Hara and her mechanical chest. Here's the full skinny:

FANGORIA correspondent, filmmaker and subtitler Norman England, a long- time associate of director Yoshihiro Nishimura, stopped by the set of Nishimura's newest film, the dystopian zombie epic HELLDRIVER, and even turned in a cameo. At this time, furiously being worked on in post-production, HELLDRIVER is looking at a fall film festival premiere, followed by a wider film festival / limited theatrical roll- out in early 2011. The film stars newcomer Yumiko Hara as Kika, a young girl tasked by the Fascist government of a newly-divided, heavily zombified Japan, to locate and destroy her evil mother, who had pulled out the girl's heart when she was a child. The bad news?  Kika's mother is now queen of the zombies. The worse news? She's living in the zombie-ridden northern half of Japan. Kika and her team of assassins and thieves must travel north for their mission of extermination, while trying to stay alive along the way.

1999 film by Takashi Miike

Audition (オーディション, Ōdishon) is a 1999 Japanese horror film directed by Takashi Miike and written by Daisuke Tengan. An adaptation of Ryu Murakami's 1997 novel, it stars Ryo Ishibashi and Eihi Shiina. The film follows a middle-aged widower who enlists the help of his film producer friend to stage a fake audition in order to meet a new girlfriend, only to find that the dark past of the woman he chooses severely affects their relationship.

The film was originally a project of the Japanese company Omega Project, who wanted to make another horror film after the financial success of Ring (1998). The company purchased the rights to Murakami's book and sought Miike and Tengan for an adaptation. The cast and crew consisted primarily of previous Miike collaborators, with the exception of Shiina, who had worked as a model prior to her acting career. The film was shot throughout Tokyo in approximately three weeks.

Audition premiered with a few other Japanese horror films at the Vancouver International Film Festival, but received increased attention when screened at the 2000 Rotterdam International Film Festival, where it received the FIPRESCI Prize and the KNF Award. Following a theatrical release in Japan, the film continued to play at festivals and had theatr

2008 Japanese science fiction splatter film by Yoshihiro Nishimura

Tokyo Gore Police (東京残酷警察, Tōkyō Zankoku Keisatsu) is a 2008 Japanesescience fiction horror film co-written, edited and directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura and starring Eihi Shiina as Ruka, a vengeful police officer.

Tokyo Gore Police was released to several film festivals in North America. It received generally positive reviews, noting that it lives up to its title by being gory, perverse and bizarre.

Plot

In a dystopian Japan, a mad scientist known as "Key Man" (Itsuji Itao) creates a virus that mutates humans into monstrous creatures called "Engineers" that sprout bizarre biomechanical weapons from injuries. To deal with Engineers, the Tokyo Police Force forms a special squad called "Engineer Hunters." The Hunters are a private quasi-military force that utilizes violence, sadism, and streetside executions to maintain law and order.

Among the Hunters is Ruka (Eihi Shiina), a troubled loner skilled in dispatching Engineers. Besides helping the police, she is obsessed with finding the mysterious assassin who killed her father, an old-fashioned officer, in broad daylight. Ruka receives a new case that leads to the Key Man himself. He infects her by inserting a key-shaped tumor into her scar-riddled left forearm before disappearing.
