I've seen something like 40 of his films (and that doesnt count his tv shows!), so it didn't blow my mind or anything. But I can see how someone would love it.. to me, it ranks somewhere in the middle as far as Miike films go. Could've been better.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm not too familiar with his work, so I may not have a proper reference when it comes to judging his stuff, but I did love it.
And you are right, it did start out amazing, with the stage play effect of the opening scene. I was more alluding to the story, not knowing what was going on, then the style. And as I mentioned, this seems to be very typical of spaghetti westerns, to drop you in the middle of the story and give you bits and pieces throughout to catch you up, so it's no surprise that he used the same technique in this film.
