Rampo Noir
Sensuality and shock bleed together in these vivid adaptations of the short stories by Taro Hirai - the 'Japanese Edgar Allan Poe'. Four auteur directors provide a jaw-dropping compilation of shorts, each stylistically different and based on the masterpieces of the great Japanese mystery writer. These dark narratives are mysterious forays into grotesque and erotic fantasy worlds. Tales include 'Mars Canal', 'Mirror Hell', 'The Caterpillar', and 'Crawling Bugs'.
