Piercing

[Machine Translation] A shocking psychological thriller approved by the author, Ryu Murakami! While the works of many leading Japanese authors have had an impact on foreign filmmakers, Ryu Murakami's novel has been made into a Hollywood movie as a unique work of art. The film opens with a shocking scene in which a man points an ice pick at his loved one, and the tension continues to build until the very last second, creating an uproar at film festivals around the world! The film stars Christopher Abbott of "The Fastest Man" and Mia Wasikowska of "Alice in Wonderland"! Directed by Nicolas Pesce, who is an admirer of Japanese culture and is working on the Hollywood reboot of "Ju-On", "Grudge"! --A man with a murderous impulse, a woman with suicidal thoughts. A psycho-thriller with a stab of madness! The protagonist is a man who has the urge to stab his young daughter with an ice pick. In order to suppress this urge, he makes a plan to call an SM girl to his hotel and kill her. However, the plan comically does not go as planned. When the woman arrives at the hotel, she suddenly collapses, injuring herself. Is this a realistic nightmare or a surrealistic reality? Will those who turn their blades outward and those who turn them inward cross each other like the positive and negative of a magnet, and will they eventually resonate...? Booklet (16 pages) enclosed.

*Rated 12-and-over.
