KURO (dir. Daisuke Shimote, 100 mins, UK Premiere)
Three people with nothing in common except the experience of a recent trauma in their lives, decide to leave Tokyo and live together in a deserted inn by the sea. Kuro, a madcap free spirit, is fired from the bakery, Eito, a photographer, has just broken up with his fiancé and Gou, a theatre director, had his production thrown into jeopardy when his lead actress dropped out. Full of fantastic imagery and off-the-wall moments that include a running game of virtual tennis along a picturesque veranda, Kuro is a gloriously fun, idiosyncratic celebration of the joys of escape.
Kuro screens at 8.30pm on Saturday 29 June at the Rich Mix Cinema. Tickets available from the Rich Mix Cinema website here.
