Description: Join us Wednesday in Freddy’s Backroom for a doubleheader of sick and depraved Nippon-horror from Takashi Miike.
7:30pm GOZU, (aka Yakuza Horror Theater: Gozu, 2003, 125 min) Miike’s twisted conflation of Yakuza mystery, Lynchian comic-horror, Japanese folklore, and lots of lactating. ”…a straight-to-video Japanese release that snuck into Cannes last year and has been leaving a trail of damp, crusty stains on the festival circuit since, is likely his most cunning and controlled work since the sex-panic Venus flytrap Audition.” -Dennis Lim
japanese trailer and Lim\’s original Village Voice review
9:45pm VISITOR Q (2001, 84min) a perverse thriller ostensibly about a deranged dad documenting the exploits of his seriously damaged family. Sure to offend everyone.
bizarre original trailer and a recommendation from trusty Joe Bob Briggs
