Product Description

Inspired by the popular Manga, and directed by Japanese provocateur Sion Sono (Guilty of Romance, Suicide Club), Himizu centers upon two teenagers, struggling for survival in a town devastated by the 2011 tsunami. Alienated from his family and devoid of hope for the future, Yuichi becomes a vigilante and commits a string of violent acts upon the world's evildoers, including his abusive father. Keiko is a former classmate who has an obsessive fascination with Yuichi, following every move of the disenchanted teen's murder spree. While some critics were alarmed by the film's "brutal violence" (The Hollywood Reporter), others praised newcomers Shota Sometani and Fumi Nikaido, who shared the Marcello Mastroianni Prize, for Best New Actor, at the 68th Venice Film Festival.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark but hopeful
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2015

Himizu (Mole) is about a boy whose deepest wish is to live an ordinary, decent life. Unfortunately, the deck is heavily stacked against him due to appalling parents, and the fact that he's living in the aftermath of the 2011 tsunami, which has exposed all kinds of mental fault lines in society. The boy -- sullen, brusque, violent and driven to despair -- is sometimes saner, kinder and more clear-sighted than the ostensibly normal people around him. It's a dark movie, one that's often difficult to watch. A genuinely moving story and excellent performances from the cast ultimately overcome minor problems with pacing. (Edited to add description of the movie.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Sion Sono does it again with Himizu
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016

Sion Sono is a genius. I never read the manga this movie is based on and I'm not sure if it's been released in America... but like all of the movies I've seen from Sion Sono (with maybe the exception of the more campy Tokyo Tribe?), Himizu hits on dark undercurrents of Japanese culture without compromise or apology. The characters are great and easy to relate to, and the pain feels real. Glad to watch another masterpiece from this genius director.

This may have some meaning for Japanese audience, but not for Americans. Zero interest.
