On October 19, 2026, Third Window Films is releasing the 4K Ultra HD for 2004’s Survive Style 5+. Acclaimed commercial director Gen Sekiguchi pulls all these strands together into a movie that is thrillingly original. Survive Style 5+ jettisons traditional movie tricks and aims for something more, a movie where love means never having to kill your wife more than five or six times.
Five bizarre stories with no apparent connection to one another eventually become intertwined, resulting in surreal circumstances.
A salaryman wins tickets to the latest stage sensation, the hypnosis show VIVA FRIENDS! In the middle of the act an assassin shows up and kills the hypnotist, leaving the salaryman stranded and convinced he is a bird! A gang of burglars roam the suburbs while simultaneously dealing with their budding lust for one another! Meanwhile, a man kills and buries his wife, only to have her claw her way out of the grave and go after him with missile arms and fire breath, over and over again.
The film features an all-star cast that includes Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer), Reika Hashimoto (Shinkuronishiti), Pierre Taki (Shin Godzilla), Vinnie Jones (The Midnight Meat Train), Shihori Kanjiya (Swing Girls), Kyōko Koizumi (Bushido), Hiroshi Abe (The Legend of the Demon Cat), Jai West (Prisoners of the Ghostland) and Sonny Chiba (Soul of Chiba).
