Satori Screen presents two fantastic crime thrillers by Japanese director Katsuhito Ishii with the director present for a Q+A!

Shark Skin Man & Peach Hip Girl 

1999 Japan Dir: Katsuhito Ishii 109 mins

The debut film of Katsuhito Ishii, and a film Quentin Tarantino loved so much that he asked its director to direct the animated chapter of Kill Bill! Legendary Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer) plays the role of Samehada (Sharkskin) who, on the run himself from stealing Yakuza money, meets a girl who’s on the run from her perverted boss! A tale of star-crossed lovers on the run from all sorts of crazy people!

Party 7 

2000 Japan Dir: Katsuhito Ishii 104 mins

Katsuhito Ishii’s follow-up to Shark Skin Man once again brings back Tadanobu Asano to play one of his strangest roles, that of a peeping pervert who is one of 7 wild characters who find themselves in 1 hotel room with a stolen suitcase of Yakuza money, each on the run from their own past!

Tickets: £15 (standard), £12 (Concessions/QUAD Members), £10 (16 – 25 Year Olds)
