“We Are Little Zombies” Theatrical Poster
Coming soon from Oscilloscope Entertainment is We Are Little Zombies, an acclaimed Japanese feature from writer/director Makoto Nagahisa (And So We Put Goldfish in the Pool).
Judging from what we’ve read, We Are Little Zombies is highly original and pushes the limits of creative freedom. One reviewer says: “If you are sick of watching movies that look all the same and are meaningless, Little Zombies is your solution to your problems.”
Read the official details below:
When four young orphans – Hikari, Ikuko, Ishi, and Takemura – first meet, their parents’ bodies are being turned into dust, like fine Parmesan atop a plate of spaghetti Bolognese, and yet none of them can shed a tear. They are like zombies; devoid of all emotion. With no family, no future, no dreams, and no way to move forward, the young teens decide that the first level of this new existence involves salvaging a gaming console, an old electric bass, and a charred wok from their former homes—just enough to start a band-and then conquer the world. Tragedy, comedy, music, social criticism, and teenage angst are all subsumed in this eccentric cinematic tsunami.
We Are Little Zombies stars Keita Ninomiya, Satoshi Mizuno, Mondo Okumura, and Sena Nakajima, along with Kuranosuke Sasaki, Youki Kudoh, Sosuke Ikematsu, Eriko Hatsune, Jun Murakami, Naomi Nishida, Rinko Kikuchi, and Masatoshi Nagase.
