Hard Romanticker
Producer
Writer-director Gu Su-yeon's new film draws on his own semiautobiographical account of growing up as a delinquent zainichi Korean (Japanese-born, but of Korean ancestry) in the seaside city of Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi Prefecture, a working-class hellhole overflowing with sex and fury. Day after day, (fictional) Gu finds fresh foes and makes the local hoodlums want to kick his ass. While working multiple dead-end part-time jobs, he cruises around town on his scooter in search of gangland trouble: leaping across rooftops with irate hordes of punks in hot pursuit, running off with a fetching belle in a sailor suit, rescuing a schoolgirl from being gang-raped at a glue-sniffing orgy…

Battle Royale
Producer
Num futuro próximo, o Japão está à beira de um colapso económico. Milhões de pessoas encontram-se desempregadas, e não existe qualquer disciplina nas escolas. Como resposta à crise, o governo institui o programa Battle Royale para tentar controlar a crescente vaga de crimes juvenis. Depois de selecionada aleatoriamente uma turma de quarenta rapazes e raparigas com 15 anos, estes são raptados e enviados para uma ilha no meio do nada. Os estudantes são então obrigados a participar num jogo mortal sem regras, onde lhes é dada apenas uma arma, água e três dias para lutarem até à morte, até que um único sobrevivente saia vencedor. E se mais do que um estiver vivo depois do tempo limite, todos os concorrentes serão mortos.
