Join us, for a rare Double Bill of SHARK SKIN MAN & PEACH HIP GIRL + PARTY 7 with director Katsuhito Ishii Live Q&A in between the features.
SHARK SKIN MAN & PEACH HIP GIRL (1998) : The debut film of Katshito Ishii, and A film Quentin Tarantino loved so much that he asked its director to direct the animated chapter of KILL BILL! Legendary Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer) plays the role of Samehada (Sharkskin) who, on the run himself from stealing Yakuza money, meets a girl who's on the run from her perverted boss! A tale of star-crossed lovers on the run from all sorts of crazy people!
PARTY 7 (2000) : Katsuhito Ishii's follow-up to Shark Skin Man once again brings back Tadanobu Asano to play one of his strangest roles, that of a peeping pervert who is one of 7 wild characters who find themselves in 1 hotel room with a stolen suitcase of Yakuza money, each on the run from their own past!
