Metrodome has announced that is is set to release director Tetsuya Nakashima’s “relentlessly violent” The World of Kanako here in the UK this August. Check out the official synopsis and trailer below…
When beautiful straight-A high school student Kanako goes missing, her mother asks ex husband Fujishima – a drifting, irresponsible former cop – to find their daughter. He embarks on a desperate search in the hope of reuniting his ‘perfect family’ – by any means necessary. But as his investigation progresses, Fujishima starts to discover the darkness that lies behind his daughter’s impeccable facade.
Clue by clue, revelation by revelation, he starts his descent into the hellish underworld of Kanako’s secret life… Tetsuya Nakashima follows his internationally-lauded box office hit “Confessions” (multiple Japan Academy Prize winner 2011; Best Asian Film, Hong Kong Film Awards 2011) with an intense, shocking, psychedelic journey into the world of city youngsters.
The World of Kanako will hit DVD in the UK on August 15th.
