Pickled Punk

Directed by Nobutaka Yamaoka

With Tomoko Machida, Shinya Tanaka, Juken Kawashima and Akihide Shiroyama

This independent film follows the actions and inner thoughts of four unusual individuals as they go about their lives in Tokyo, occasionally meeting up with one another. Their thoughts tend to focus on questions of death, existence, and the conflict of society against the individual. All of the action is performed silently, with narration dubbed over.
