Depending on your interpretation, there is more than one meaning to Gozu. Much as Ichi the Killer was a meditation on the latent sadomasochism present in Yakuza culture, so is Gozu a film about that culture's repressed homoeroticism. For examples, see the young thug's longing to be together with his "Brother" and the boss's inability to... er, perform... without the aid of hard metal objects in the rear. Just a theory though, anyone care to debate it?
