Wacky Satire R100 by Hitoshi Matsumoto Is Like Fight Club Directed By Luis Buñuel

“R100” (a riff on the Japanese movie rating system, whose equivalent to NC-17 is R18) tells the story of lonely everyman, Takafumi Katayama, who hires a boutique S&M agency that specialize in random acts of extreme public degradation. At first, this changes his outlook on life for the better, but a bizarre accident violates the terms of the contract and hurdles Takafumi into a confounding spiral that will test his very soul. “…despite its head-scratching moments, ‘R100’ also maintains an elevated cult movie consistency that’s par for the course with Matsumoto, by combining its playful irrationality with an emotional and philosophical core,” wrote Indiewire’s Eric Kohn in his glowing review out of Toronto.
