Starring new work Odagiri Joe that has been exhibited in Competition at last year's Venice Film Festival"PLASTIC CITY"(MarchHuman Trust Cinema ShibuyaI saw the other public).

South America Brazil, Nikkei Kirin (Odagiri Joe) is rescued in Judah (Anthony Wong) in the Amazon at an early age, it is grown. Judah reign as the mastermind of darkness breadwinner in the city Liberdade of the largest Asian immigrants in Sao Paulo of the world. Kirin became youth Want Judah more than the actual parent-child, will fight back to the organization that aimed at his life. . .
YOU Rikuwai had been renowned in the world as the name cinematographer of Jia Zhangke director of "Still Life". Was also participated as the second director of photography of "In the Mood for Love" in addition to Wong Kawai. Really amazing video There is only with the director of photography born! Not be the eye in the finesse recent Asian writers to show a picture up here, have exhausted talking in the video more than anything than words the hard-boiled specific work content.

Tattoo transmitted to the Indio Brazilian Amazon (himself subjected to trauma) is wriggles to the giraffe's body surface. Originally those tattoo of Indio was decorated in order to protect themselves from evil spirits and demons, sinister things. The pattern that we sensible on the surface layer of the skin is also busy trying to freely also on top of the city on top of the film, going more and more away from our vision (will invite). . . Empty city at the beginning of shooting will speak as equivalent the surface of the earth and the human skin of the big city. And it of the "line of sight" itself is the fact that "sinister thing" for the Indio to be repelled by the tattoo is revealed.

Spirit presence of Anthony Wong of Judah auditors are reminiscent of yesteryear Toshiro Mifune. I saw a dark Hong Kong-based gangster movie after a long time.
Sense of plastic (thin film, coating, such as a synthetic resin) of supervision. Vulgar town from the skin of the giraffe, and the more skin sensation to continue to stick to the surface layer is also the extent to jungle is if it is superficial, that spirituality can be seen well coming A surge from deep. And its own decorated with trauma (tattoo) ought to have resonance in the history of South America to the men of the way of life.
Raw material of plastic crude oil of fossil fuel. There is also a typical energy source of the 19th century and later the human race. There are also those indispensable to the development / progress of the human race, also it is also the root of the recent natural environmental destruction. Big trend that contains this contradiction is reflected also in the way the history of the original sin of mankind. The image to be back and forth from the green of the deep Amazon to big city Sao Paulo is the river itself of humanity through which "reason" and "instinct" of our ego.
