WHAMMY!, Los Angeles
Rinko and Shigehiko are a strange couple, whose physical mismatch is reflected in the complete lack of intimacy between them. They connect as human beings but they live more like friends than as lovers and lead nearly independent lives. Both seem comfortable with this coexistence, but the desires that lurk beneath the surface are brought out with the introduction of a third element (played by Tsukamoto himself) into the equation. A visually-stunning and coldly-erotic masterpiece from the director of TETSUO: THE IRON MAN. **dir. Shinya Tsukamoto, 2002***Japan, digital projection*77 min ## 7:30 DOORS8:00 SCREENING
