Four (2011)

New York, I Love You delves into the intimate lives of New Yorkers as they grapple with, delight in and search for love. Journey from the Diamond District in the heart of Manhattan, through Chinatown and the Upper East Side, towards the Village, into Tribeca, and Brooklyn as lovers of all ages try to find romance in the Big Apple.

Five O. Henry stories, each separate. The primary one from the critic's acclaim was "The Cop and the Anthem". Soapy tells fellow bum Horace that he is going to get arrested so he can spend the winter in a nice jail cell. He fails. He can't even accost a woman; she turns out to be a streetwalker. The other stories are "The Clarion Call", "The Last Leaf", "The Ransom of Red Chief", and "The Gift of the Magi".

Five strangers board a train and are joined by a mysterious fortune teller who offers to read their Tarot cards. Five separate stories unfold: An architect returns to his ancestoral home to find a werewolf out for revenge; a doctor discovers his new wife is a vampire; a huge plant takes over a house; a musician gets involved with voodoo; an art critic is pursued by a disembodied hand.

Nanni Moretti recalls in his diary three slice of life stories characterized by a sharply ironic look: in the first one he wanders through a deserted Rome, in the second he visits a reclusive friend on an island, and in the last he has to grapple with an unknown illness.

Four different comedic episodes, framed by the story of a Zen master and his two helpless disciples.

Seven episodes, each taking place on a different day of the week, on the theme of suicide and violent death.

Three stories adapted from the work of Edgar Allen Poe: 1) A man and his daughter are reunited, but the blame for the death of his wife hangs over them, unresolved. 2) A derelict challenges the local wine-tasting champion to a competition, but finds the man's attention to his wife worthy of more dramatic action. 3) A man dying and in great pain agrees to be hypnotized at the moment of death, with unexpected consequences.

「ゾンビ」のロメロと、「サスペリア」のアルジェント、米・伊を代表するホラーの巨匠二人が、エドガー・アラン・ポーの世界に挑んだオムニバス。第1話「ヴァルドマー事件の真相」はロメロが担当。余命いくばくも無い大富豪ヴァルドマーから財産を巻き上げようと画策する悪妻。共謀の医者がかけた催眠術はヴァルドマーの死後もその効果を残していた……。第2話「黒猫」はアルジェントが担当。暴力的な写真を得意とするNYのカメラマンが、不気味な黒猫にまとわりつかれた上、思い余って妻を殺してしまう。大都会のド真ん中で死体の処理に困ったカメラマンの取った方法とは……。

オリジナルビデオアニメが隆盛となった1980年代中盤に、作家性を前面に押し出して製作されたオムニバス作品である。大友克洋は本作ではオープニング、エンディングを担当しているが、短い時間に大友アニメのエッセンスが詰まっている。タイトルロゴの英字は、ディテールいっぱいに構造物が判別できるよう描き込まれた建造物。それが機械として走って来る構図や、オモチャ箱的で遊園地のような中身が丁寧に段取りを踏んで崩壊していく映像など、まさしく『スチームボーイ』の縮図と言っても良い光景がそこにある。他の作家がそれぞれ「ロボット」をお題に独特の世界を展開する中で、大友克洋はちょっと肩の力を抜いた映像主体の短編をつくりあげている。

An Asian cross-cultural trilogy of horror films from accomplished indie directors: Dumplings, directed by Fruit Chan of Hong Kong, Cut directed by Park Chan-Wook of Korea, and Box directed by Miike Takashi of Japan.

Two creepy "horror" films joined together by Merlin's Shop which is, in turn, introduced by a Grandpa telling the story.

Three tales, each more terrifying than the last… a woman who is stalked by a crazed serial killer... a man who pays the ultimate price for a beautiful head of hair… and a vision of life — seen through the eyes of a killer!

EC Comics-inspired weirdness returns with three tales. In the first, a wooden statue of a Native American comes to life to exact vengeance on the murderer of his elderly owners. In the second, four teens are stranded on a raft on a lake with a blob that is hungry. And in the third, a hit and run woman is terrorized by the hitchhiker she accidentally killed... or did she?
