Tezuka's Barbara
Macoto Tezuka brings Osamu Tezuka's erotic manga to life through the lens of Christopher Doyle.
A visually stylized, erotically charged fantasy mystery that blends the occult with romantic obsession, leaving the protagonist—and viewer—uncertain of what is real.
Barbara is an adult-orientated fantasy tale filled with love and the occult from Osamu Tezuka's reimagining of "The Tales of Hoffmann". Its story deals with the erotic and bizarre experiences of a famous novelist called Yosuke Mikura whose life is tossed upside down by a mysterious girl named "Barbara".
