Shinya Tsukamoto, 2002, Japan, 77 min
From the director of TETSUO: THE IRON MAN, this visually-stunning and coldly-erotic masterpiece features a strange couple, Rinko and Shigehiko, whose physical mismatch is reflected in the complete lack of intimacy between them. They connect as human beings but they live more like friends than as lovers and lead nearly independent lives. Both seem comfortable with this coexistence, but the desires that lurk beneath the surface are brought out with the introduction of a third element (played by Tsukamoto himself) into the equation.
