Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme: Destruction Babies

Delinquent runaway Taira (Yuya Yagira, Nobody Knows) leaves his hometown for the city, where he aimlessly roams the streets picking fights with random bystanders. Rallied on by a high-schooler, Taira’s streetside scuffles soon turn into a sinister game.

Destruction Babies is a brutal and unflinching drama depicting the unstoppable desires and impluses of lost young people intoxicated by violence. The commercial debut by director Tetsuya Mariko, this exciting and unpredictable film won the Prize for the Best Emerging Director at Locarno International Film Festival upon its international premiere in 2016.

Destruction Babies (ディストラクション・ベイビーズ), dir. Tetsuya Mariko, Japan 2016, 108 mins, Japanese with English subtitles.
