RAMPO NOIR

"What a preposterously bold undertaking this whole project is. RAMPO NOIR is a reminder of many things that attracted us to Japanese exploitation cinema in the first place...unabashed eroticism, remarkable visual inventiveness and a willingness to plunge into dark realms that so many other movies fail to explore." - Tom Mes, Midnight Eye

Four Japanese filmmakers from completely different backgrounds bring their radically personal takes to the stories of Edogawa Rampo, Japan's celebrated master of the macabre (HORRORS OF MALFORMED MEN, BLIND BEAST). Featuring multiple performances from screen legend Tadanobu Asano (ICHI THE KILLER) and an incredible genre-spanning soundtrack touching on jazz, noise and classical, this one's for fans of psychosexual dramas, nihilistic fever dreams and surrealism with a touch of humor.
