A violent man holding pure love, Sai and a stunningly beautiful playgirl, Sheila. While Sheila flees with a large sum of money, she is chased by a cool but violent gang, crazy killers and an out of control cop. No one can stop Sai and Sheila's love runaway. This is a story about an extremely crazy and cool couple. Ryuhei Kitamura returned to independent film field with an even more powerful film than his previous film Godzilla Final Wars. The original story is written by Tsutomu Takahashi, who worked with Kitamura for Alive and Sky High. Shinji Takeda, stared in the film and other brilliant and unique casts take the film to the highest level. The violent erotic comedy dances on the screen one after another. You can't take your eyes off the screen!"
Here's a description of LoveDeath from Bogeydom Licensing's website: "Versus, Alive, Aragami, Azumi, Skyhigh, Godzilla: Final Wars... ¶ The samurai filmmaker, Ryuhei Kitamura is back. More wild, more radical, more crazy. Fight for love. Die for love. The world where everything is settled by bullets. Anarchic world of no rules. Sex, ultra violence, and bowling. Unpredictable. Super cool. No limits. No brakes. Unstoppable filmmaker, Ryuhei Kitamura's new legend is here. ¶ Experience a typhoon of love, blood, and bullets. Witness the war of love that no one has ever seen. Can you die for love? ¶ STORY ¶ They fell in love the moment they met. 3 days later, she disappeared. 342 days later, they meet again. ¶ That was a beginning... ¶ In a man's life, there is turning point like you see in a marathon. We call it Chrysalis Day. It is Fate's Day. ¶ The rest of your life depends on how you spend Chrysalis Day. If you make it, the rest of your life is like the color of roses. But, if you mess up, the rest of your life is worth shit. ¶ This is a story of a guy and a girl going through Chrysalis Day. ¶ Faith and betrayal. Love and hate. Sex and death. A girl who mesmerizes everyone. A guy who holds on to her for love. Everyone fights for love and dies for love. ¶ Yakuza, cop, and assassins. Everyone is after them. Running full-throttle through the battlefield of love. This is a story of Sai and Sheila."
