Horror

The gestation of a cold-blooded seductress in twilight nether-Tokyo.

Isolated on the fringes of a soulless metropolis, Catherine survives on scraps of translation work. But a mysterious client offers a lucrative job, and an opportunity for Catherine to indulge in her malformed and incompatible desires. As the film unravels, the lines between reality and delusion blur, seamlessly mirroring Catherine's struggle to make sense of the tainted fragments of her client's mysterious scroll.

Unconventional and mysterious, made with an admirable independent vision. This is a movie that follows it's own rules, and challenges the viewer to come along for the ride. It's clearly not for everyone. But it works as an open-ended fable set in Japan with Swedish characters. And how often can you say that?
