That is what it is about

Adults are corrupt and mendacious! Never will the members of the Lichi Hikari Club belong to this desperate world. Rather, the youth of the nine young men will wipe the withering dirt from the face of the earth. Ten commandments shall govern this - ten commandments that must be obeyed at all costs! To keep their perfection pure, the gang creates a hunky robot that is sent out to find a flawless girl... and thus usher in the doom of the world!

What you should know

Based on the manga series by Usamaru Furuya, director Eisuke Naitô has created a nightmarish vision of youthful recklessness. THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM meet here, creating a brutal and entertaining splatter tale with a peculiar drive. The almost exhilarating production lust immediately captivates its viewers and almost makes them forget that LITCHI HIKARI CLUB is brimming with critical intelligence.

Direction

Eisuke Naitô's debut film LET'S MAKE THE TEACHER HAVE A MISCARRIAGE CLUB already focused on the existential fears of young people and the resulting obsessions. Provocation is high on the agenda and this has not changed with his latest film. The director's highly debatable approach makes it clear that Japan should not be written off as a film country. Naitô's works are exciting, controversial and unfortunately very topical!
