Haruko Azumi Is Missing
A Girl Has Gone Missing.
Directed by Daigo Matsui
Produced by Fukuoka Broadcasting System, Itoh Company
A darkly comedic Japanese drama that weaves together random street violence, a missing girl mystery, and urban graffiti into a surreal meditation on visibility and invisibility.
While a gang of high school girls randomly beats lone men at night, the photo of a young woman who has been declared missing is used to design a template which is painted on each wall of a small suburban town.
