About

Shinya Tsukamoto, director Tetsuo: The Iron Man 1989 and master of cyberpunk horror, turns his hand to a period piece in this spinetingling, class-conscious tale of twin-revenge. In 1910, Yukio, a former military doctor, has taken over his father’s respected medical practice in Tokyo. Happily married, his life seems to be a dazzling success until his parents are murdered by someone who looks uncannily like him. As the thin veneer of his respectable life starts to peel away, the past violently comes to reckon with the present. With a pulsating score by Chu Ishikawa, Tsukamoto’s adaptation of a story by Edogawa Ranpo addresses the rot of social inequity with ruthless flair.
