The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. Category IIA · 104 minutes.

What it is about

Anthology film made up of 3 separate segments: Æliens, 4649Girl, and Nocturn: En Cette Nuit Grotesque.

What to expect

Three shorts, three directors, one title. Atsushi Nishigori and Takahiro Miura each take a swing at the grotesque — the segments are Æliens, 4649Girl, and Nocturn: En Cette Nuit Grotesque — and the result is an anthology that doesn't try to smooth over the joins. The voice cast pulls from across the industry: Kana Ichinose, Gen Hoshino, Sara Minami, Ikumi Hasegawa, Saori Hayami, and Nagi Inoue of Nogizaka46. 104 minutes, Japanese with English subtitles, IIA certificate. This week it plays exactly once, at a single cinema in one district. Tickets from HK$100. If you want to catch it, you are booking around that one session.
