"Co-written and directed by Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo: The Iron Man) Kotoko is a nightmarish and hallucinogenic feast for the senses from Japan’s most consistently irreverent genre filmmaker. Kotoko (pop star and co-writer Cocco, in her first starring role) is a mother struggling to raise her young son Daijiro. As her grip on reality lessens, Kotoko begins to see doubles of everyone — one good, and one evil. Unfortunately, she can’t tell which one is real. As Kotoko’s life devolves into a paranoia-induced state, a famous author (played by Tsukamoto) takes an interest in her . . . for better or worse." - American Genre Film Archive
