A visceral, nightmarish descent into a world where love is devoured by prejudice, director Yoshihiko Matsui’s ‘Tonkei shinjû’ (lit. ‘Pig Chicken Suicide’) assaults the senses with brutal imagery of slaughter and racial tension. Set in a starkly divided Japan, two Korean lovers find their bond corroded by the venomous discrimination around them, their passion twisted into a spiraling dance of desperation.

An unforgettable fever dream that chews on the raw nerves of society—if you dare, let it drag you into its grotesque embrace.
