The verdict

Audiences rate it 6.6 out of 10 on TMDB across 40 votes — a solid score. It is playing 1 time at 1 cinema across 1 district, from HK$95. The cheapest seat is at PREMIERE ELEMENTS in Tsim Sha Tsui, HK$95. Category IIA · 120 minutes.

What it is about

One sunny day, four young teens meet by chance at a crematorium. Hikari, Ikuko, Ishi and Takemura have all lost their parents at the same time. Hikari’s were in a car crash whilst on holiday. Ikuko’s were murdered by a deranged stalker. Ishi’s were in a gas explosion. Takemura’s killed themselves to escape the hell of debt. But none of them could shed a tear. They were like zombies, devoid of all emotion. Alone in the world with no future, no dreams or even the energy to move forward, our protagonists dress themselves in scraps from a garbage dump, turn their favorite items from their empty homes into musical instruments, and decide to form a kick-ass band. They call themselves LITTLE ZOMBIES. This is a story about their quest to retrieve their ability to feel. And what they discover at the end of it.

What to expect

Makoto Nagahisa’s debut follows four teens who meet at a crematorium after their parents die in separate, absurdly grim accidents. None of them can cry, so they form a band. The movie runs on a hyper-stylised, 8-bit video-game logic — chiptune score, pixel-art interludes, deadpan performances — that either clicks or exhausts. At 120 minutes the conceit stretches, and the 6.6 audience score on 40 votes suggests it splits the room. One bcSunday screening, IIA, Japanese with English and Chinese subtitles, HK$95. For viewers who want a formally restless coming-of-age oddity, not a warm hug.
