About

You can stream Ley Lines (1999) on Philo with a subscription.

The story follows a trio of Japanese youths of Chinese descent who escape their semi-rural upbringing and relocate to Shinjuku, Tokyo, where they befriend a troubled Shanghai prostitute and fall foul of a local crime syndicate. Like many of Miike's works, the film examines the underbelly of respectable Japanese society and the problems of assimilation faced by non-ethnically Japanese people in Japan.

Unlike the polished crime epics typical of the era, this feverish outing captures the frantic, unwashed desperation of marginalized youth colliding with the Tokyo underworld. It trades sleek professionalism for a jagged, restless energy that finds beauty in the city's most neglected corners.
