Trailer - Torso

The recently-launched official website for Torso has been updated with a 2-minute trailer. The film was directed Yutaka Yamazaka, longtime cinematographer for Hirokazu Kore-eda, and premiered at the Hong Kong International Film Festival on March 25, 2009.

Makiko Watanabe stars as an ordinary woman named Hiroko who works for a clothing company. She lives a pretty mundane private life, save the fact that her lover is an armless, legless inflatable male torso. When her half sister Mina (Sakura Ando) moves in with her unexpectedly, Hiroko’s secret world begins to crumble around her.

“Torso” is distributed by Transformer and will get late show screenings at Shibuya EuroSpace from July 10, 2010.
