Tokyo Is Burning.

Directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura

Produced by Nikkatsu Corporation, Fever Dreams

2008110 min6.0 / 10

A visceral, surreal cyberpunk action-horror film that weaponizes body horror and self-destruction as both literal and social commentary.

In a futuristic Tokyo where police have been privatized and bitter self-mutilation is so casual that advertising is often specially geared to the 'cutter' demographic, Ruka is on a mission to avenge her father's assassination. Ruka is a cop from a squad whose goal is to destroy homicidal mutant humans known as 'engineers', that possess the ability to transform any injury to a weapon in and of itself.
