INITIAL D (TAUMANCHI D) Asian New Classics

Who is the racing god of Mt. Akina? Strap in for a hypnotically beautiful street racing film from Japan that blows the doors off of THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS. Based on the popular manga and anime, and produced by the creative team behind the INFERNAL AFFAIRS trilogy, INITIAL D will take you on one unforgettable ride.

Takumi is the quiet son of the local tofu man, but when groups of street racers come into town looking for the best drivers in Japan, his true abilities are exposed. Of course, he also hopes to win the heart of a girl, but this is far from any ordinary love story. Unlike all the blowhards and braggarts around him, Takumi races with a Zen attitude as serene as the Buddha himself. Takumi’s journey to become such an amazing racer is one of the best origin stories told in years.

With a bumping soundtrack and amazing cinematography, INITIAL D gets the adrenaline pumping from the first scene. It is already a record-breaking film in China and Hong Kong. Prepare for a heart-racing ride and remember-never break the tofu.
