ペナルティループ Penaruti Ruupu
(12A) | 99 mins | 2023 | Japanese Language with English Subtitles
Screening as part of the JFTFP25: Am I Right? Justice, Justification and Judgement in Japanese Cinema.
When IWAMORI Jun’s (WAKABA Ryuya) girlfriend is murdered, he takes it upon himself to get revenge. With careful planning and calculated precision, he murders the perpetrator, MIZOGUCHI (ISEYA Yusuke), throws the body in a lake, and goes home satisfied. Until he wakes up the next morning… and finds himself back at the start of the last 24 hours. His girlfriend’s killer is alive again.
Once more, Jun kills MIZOGUCHI, but the next morning is the same. And the next. No matter how many times Jun exacts his murderous revenge, he’s stuck in a loop living the same day forever. And as he grapples with his hunger for justice, his twisted cat-and-mouse chase with MIZOGUCHI grows ever more absurd, and a bizarre relationship forms between the two of them.
Director ARAKI Shinji blends gripping mystery, bloody revenge, dark comedy and sharp psychological drama in this unpredictable, wildly original take on a familiar time loop premise.
