Wind-Up Type
Wind-Up Type (ねじ式, Nejishiki) is a 1998 Japanese drama film directed by Teruo Ishii. It is an adaptation of Tsuge Yoshiharu's 1967 manga Screw Style.
Production
The film is Ishii's eighty-first film.[1] It stars Tadanobu Asano and Miki Fujitani.
When asked "What is it about Tsuge's manga that makes you want to adapt them to film?", Ishii answered: "He shows the very poor side of society in Japan, that's what interests me."[2]
Release and reception
The film has also been released under the title Screwed.[3]
A review in Variety states that this "Story about a manga artist who goes on a 'Saragossa Manuscript'–like dream odyssey will leave most non-Japanese viewers baffled."[4]
