The Pinkie

Jan 24, 2014

Since they were both five, Ryosuke has been stalked by Momoko - the ugliest girl in the village. Her love for Ryosuke is so boundless that she has her face surgically altered to suit his taste - but still he wants nothing to do with her. Ryosuke goes in for fleeting romance - for example, with the girlfriend of a gangster boss. But when he finds out about their affair, he has Ryosuke's little finger hacked off. Magically, the finger falls into Momoko's hands, and she uses it to clone Ryosuke, so she can finally have him (or almost him) for herself. And this is just the first five minutes of Lisa Takeba's short-but-powerful feature debut. Just like in her previous short films, the director - who cut her teeth in the advertising world and as the writer of a video game - throws a lot of genres and techniques into the mix: from science fiction to gangster films, from hospital eroticism to animation. Hectic and absurd, but with its heart in the right place. © IFFR

Kyowakai headquarters chief Yuto Tamura (Yamaguchi Yoshiyuki) seeks to settle accounts for his underling Tora, injured by the Toryukai. But the Toryukai enlists Diet member Kadowaka (Kato Kei) as mediator—only for his greed to be instantly exposed by underboss Renji Himuro (Motomiya Yasukaze), who seizes on Kadowaka’s weakness. Suddenly, masked assailants strike both Himuro and Tamura. Tamura corners one of them, but a terrified young girl (Yakuwana Tsumi) distracts him, letting the attackers slip away. Meanwhile, rogue member Shigeru Fujita (Yokoyama Ryo)—who defied both Tora and Toryukai boss Higashino—arrives in Kobe, intent on revenge against Tamura. To rein him in, the Sakota-gumi dispatches underboss aide Hayashi (Namioka Kazuki). As Tamura hunts the mysterious assailants alone, the image of the girl lingers, pulling him back to where it all began…
