Sharkskin Man and Peach Hip Girl (Samehada Otoko To Momojiri Onna) film screening at the Cornerhouse, Manchester

Thursday 3 February 2005

Dir. Katsuhito Ishii, 1998; Cert. TBC; 1hr48min; Subtitled

• Thursday 3 February 2005 : 6:20pm

Based on Minetaro Mochizuki's popular manga, this outrageous Japanese genre bender mixes sentimental Yakuza machismo with the fatalistic romance of the road movie and a dash of deadpan humour in an avalanche of giddily graphic violence. Toshiko inadvertently interrupts a mob execution when she crashes her car into a limo of weird assassins. Belmondo-cool Samehada seduces her into going on the lam.
