Gozu (極道恐怖大劇場 牛頭 ＧＯＺＵ, Gokuō kyōfu dai-gekijō: Gozu?, literally: Cow's Head) is a Japanese cult film directed by Takashi Miike. Shot on a low budget, Gozu was originally planned for release on DVD but its positive reception at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2003 secured its theatrical release overseas.
