Ultra-prolific director Takashi Miike returns to the big screen in hard-boiled-Tarantino-esque style. A boxer with a brain tumor, a crooked cop with terrible luck, a dismembered Chinese gangster, a terrified prostitute who’s stalked by a ghost in tighty whities come together in this genre bending howler. 

First Love is the story of a young boxer and a call girl, who fall passionately in love while getting innocently caught up in a drug-smuggling scheme over the course of one night in Tokyo.

Signature Entertainment presents First Love in Cinemas & Blu-ray from 14th February
