Not exactly a director that plays along with genre rules, the prolific Takashi Miike now takes his talent in genre bending to the pure romance world with 'For Love's Sake' (a.k.a. Ai to Makoto), based on Kajiwara Ikki's 1973 manga series.

An epic story of a rich high school girl who falls in love with a tough young gangster, Miike's take on the story breaks all the rules with musical numbers (with music by popular music producer Kobayashi Takeshi), tongue-in-cheek humour, and in-your-face violence. 'For Love's Sake' is a unique and incredibly wild ride that will change your definition of what a pure romance can be.
