We Are Little Zombies

Japan | 2019 | Makoto Nagahisa

Four Japanese strangers—all poker-faced tween orphans emotionless over their parents’ recent deaths—come together to form a chiptune pop band and take the world by storm. This exuberant, visually inventive comedy tears through the stages of grief as if they were levels in a video game. “Hyperstylized, hyperactive, and hyper-fun…No pulsating, psychedelic, pop-punk phantasmagoria ought to be as moving and smart…Explosively ingenious and energetic.” –Variety. “A rainbow-colored, RPG-inspired scream into the abyss.” –New York. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. 120 min.
