R100 Film 8/10
The
other night Koko and I went to see a double feature of Hitoshi
Matsumoto movies over at Cinefamily. I had never been to this theater
before and I really liked the way it was set up. The first was called
R100. It is about a guy that signs up for a strange ass club for guys
that are into S&M. There is a verbal contract and the guy can not
stop it once its started. He is a plain enough guy that works at a
furniture store. His wife is dying and in a coma. He spends a little
time with his son and his father-in-law.
Next
thing you know these women start showing up and assaulting him. And
its great. He is eating sushi and one appears out of thin air and
starts smashing his food. He gets attacked on the street. Drowned in
a pool. He loves it until the Queen of Saliva dies. There's even a
woman that eats people whole and people who critique the movie as its
happening that ask the questions we all wanted to ask.
At
this point if you are on board with this crazy ass movie it only gets
better. The CEO of Bondage played by Lindsay Kay Hayward shows up
cursing up a blue streak and vowing to destroy the guy. She was
actually at the theater and did a Q and A, tied some folks up, and
Koko and I go to talk to her during intermission. I had my mark out
moment telling her that as soon as I saw her on screen I knew who she
was though I mixed up OVW and FCW. This movie was fucking insane and
I laughed during one scene so hard I almost fell off the couch.
Symbol
The
second feature was Symbol. So hard to describe this movie. The
premise is simple but so weird. A guy wakes up in a room with a high
walls and suddenly these little angels start giggling at him before
disappearing into the walls leaving only their dicks sticking out.
Yep. When the guy taps one of the dicks an item comes out. Sushi.
Chair. An African. He spends his time going crazy and/or trying to
figure out how to escape.
There
is also a story about a luchador happening and you don't figure out
how this even ties into the other story until way later and it is a
very “What the fuck just happened?!” moment. This was a good
movie but aggravating at times because it seems like the guy is just
being fucked with and there is no chance to be free. Imagine Old Boy
times a hundred.
