A ship explodes. A man dies. A man disappears without a trace. Is it an accident or a cover-up for something darker?
Documentary filmmaker Nerijus Milerius (“Exemplary Behaviour”) invited his former student Lina Lūžytė (“Together Forever”, “The Castle”) to direct this Lithuanian psychological thriller while investigating Japanese disappearances. Genius cinematographer Vytautas Katkus (worked on Locarno winner “Toxic”) captures the dark subject matter perfectly, jumping between moving cars and shooting in time-lapse.

以《妖兽都市》、《兽兵卫忍风帖》 和《吸血鬼猎人D》闻名于世的日本动画导演川尻善昭的新作《Highlander: The Search for Vengeance》在制作了近2年之后终于要和观众见面了,但与之前宣告的作为剧场放映的电影不同,这部80多分钟长的动画片将于6月5日直接在美国发行DVD,分为普通版和特别版。3月14日该动画的官方网站放出了1分半的新预告片,从华丽的画面看仍然保持了川尻一贯的凌厉风格。
