Japanese cinema aims to shock and disturb once again with a cinematic ‘Miscarriage’

The poster children for the "Let's Make the Teacher Have A Miscarriage Club"

If you’re a fan of most Japanese movies that get brought over to the West, you’re probably used to what normal folks might deem ‘outrageous’ or ‘offensive.’ Hell, Takashi Miike made his name with us foreign film buffs on the backs of titles like Ichi the Killer and Visitor Q – movies that would likely send your parents running from the room in hysterics.

Even then, I don’t think I was prepared to read about today’s latest Japanese cinematic delight. Releasing in theaters over there on April 30th is a film called Let’s Make The Teacher Have a Miscarriage Club.

Let that sink in for a moment, and then realize that this tale of 7th grade girls out to make their poor teacher have a miscarriage is actually based on a true story.

Good God! And here I thought All About Lily Chou-Chou was disturbing. Over at Beyond Hollywood, you can check out two trailers and the full plot synopsis if you dare.
