(Herutâ sukerutâ)
Country: JAP
Technical: col 127m
Director: Mika Ninagawa
Cast: Erika Sawajiri, Shinobu Terajima, Nao Õmori
Synopsis:
A model who has allowed herself to be surgically rendered as 'the most beautiful' develops perverse tendencies and experiences regressive side-effects from her treatment.
Review:
Foreshadowing The Substance (2024) by a number of years, this erratic, self-indulgent cautionary tale bathes itself in an orgy of primary colours and titillates us with sexual peccadilloes while clucking its tongue at the narcissism of the cell phone generation.
