OK, upon persistent requests from auess, here you go... A Japanese cyberpunk take on the romantic fairy tale genre, this "underground epic" revolves around the story of a serial killer who keeps ripping internal organs from his victims and collecting them inside a plastic woman, presumably in hope that she would come alive. Not surprisingly, told predominantly from the perspective of the killer...

Just as the poster would suggest, Matsui's ambitions extend far beyond brain-dead exploitation, and after going at length through images of extreme violence, decay, derangement and degradation, he will suddenly confront you with moments of intense, even if fractured, lyricism. The soundtrack alternates between grating urban noises, ostensibly bourgeois Japanese pop songs and the softly exalted title piece.

This is a VHS rip of an extremely low quality (still watchable though). No subs. Apparently, this movie has never been released commercially on video, so this will probably be the best version available for a while. There is very little dialog, even though I do suspect that it contains some clues to the relations between the various characters involved...

Please be patient with downloading, and judge for yourself... Imagen
Produced by Yoshihiko Matsui (pig-chicken-suicide) this is the biggest-ever collaborative effort of the Japanese underground scene. Everybody from Shogo Ishii to Shinya Tsukamoto worked on this film, from a deranged script which many thought to be unfilmable. It depicts the grinding daily life of several social outcasts in Kyoto, focussing on the plastic doll-loving, mass murdering Makoto, employed as gutter-cleaner by pair of incestuous midgets. The film has been one of the biggest independent successes on the domestic market.
MATSUI's debut film, "RUSTY EMPTY CAN"(1979), was photographed by Sogo ISHII ; nonetheless the film turned out to be a serious and emotionally painful one unlike ISHII's speedy roller-coaster movies. The film which depicts a homosexual relationship was success at the many film festival held in Japan. "RUSTY EMPTY CAN" is still shown at theaters today as it has become the pioneer of cult movies with devoted fans and approval from Nagisa OSHIMA and Shuji TERAYAMA.

MATSUI shot his second film, "PIG-CHICKEN SUICIDE"(1981). This film depicts two Koreans living in Japan and their love which is torn apart due to racial discrimination. The film was kindly given the opportunity of a long-run showing at Shuji TERAYAMA's theater, "Tenjo-Sajiki-kan". Kazuo HARA, well known as the documentary film director, is the director of photography for this film.

In 1983, MATSUI started to shoot "NOISY REQUIEM"--- a movie which was thought to be impossible to shoot and as Shuji TERAYAMA commented, "would be a scandal if made into a movie".

However, the selection for a suitable cast and location did not go smoothly and thus the shooting was delayed till the next summer. The film was finally released on the 26th of May, 1988, breaking the record of the number of audience at most theaters. Yet the number of viewers shows no declination.

MATSUI's production has been able to pay for all expenses with the success of all films. This is very uncommon for an independent film production.

Although the film was scheduled to be shown at festivals in various countries, unfortunately, it was banned at all places. However, ten years later in 1998, the film was shown in seven cities including GERMANY and NORWAY, DENMARK with favorable reviews...

A new Japanese web-site for this movie has recently popped up on the net:

http://www.tsuitounozawameki.net/

Since I really liked the two trailers from that web-site, I've cleaned them up (they seriously suffered from interlacing), recompressed them to AVI, and put them up on eMule:
