JAPAN CUTS 2011 screening: "Three Points"

Arch-icon of Japanese independent cinema Masashi Yamamoto (Robinson’s Garden, Carnival of the Night) returns with a film that stars Jun Murakami and an actress who truly needs no introduction: Sora Aoi. Three☆Points takes a cold, hard look at the rough edges of Japanese society in three locales: Kyoto, and its scene of rough-and-tumble semi-bohemian down-and-out rappers; Okinawa, where crab-hunting and hanging out with American GIs give a glimpse of Okinawans just getting by; Tokyo, where a girl named Saki falls into a strange and slightly terrifying relationship with a random Tokyo drifter (Murakami) who saves her from a street gang.
