In his new cinematic adventure, Raúl Perrone makes a new incursion into the Japanese out of Ituzaingó in order to shape the variations of a story that revolves around a woman who cuts dead people’s hair, a samurai with an intolerable mission, a nosy burglar, a feudal lord on the verge of insanity and a giant metal fish. The film is freely inspired in the original version of Rashomon –written by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa– and, as usual in his filmography since P3ND3JO5 (2013), Perrone blends different elements from classical film; in this case, visible ghosts from Kurosawa’s cinema and certain aspects of Japan’s traditional culture melt with nightmarish distortions and machinistical irruptions, typical of a future that may never come. “The avant-garde is in the past” he once said in an interview. In his reimagining of film history, Perrone again finds an inexhaustible field of expression.

This night, Ituzaingó, in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, exudes film and theater. Actors, actresses, directors, and producers parade like narcissuses of the underground in a world of jealousy, hypocrisy, idiocy, and so much more.

The cynical philosophers lived in Ancient Greece. Its name comes from the word "dog", denomination attributed by its frugal way of living. They considered that civilization was an evil and so they despised riches and repudiated sciences, norms, and conventions.

Some time ago, I decided not to make any more synopsis of my films. I want people to arrive without knowing what they are going to see. There won't be a trailer either; they lie and never really reflect the spirit of the film. Thank you for understanding. RP
