Samehada otoko to momojiri onna (Katsuhito Ishii, 1998) aka Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl



Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl (Katsuhito
Ishii, 1998)

Rating: 7.2

The films of Japanese director, Katsuhito Ishii are never short on originality and peculiarities. Although, the premise of Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl seems like a fairly straight forward action thriller on the surface, Ishii transforms it in to a fun, quirky, oddly paced, and unpredictably cut adventure that no other director would have conceived the same way.
