ラブ&ピース / Love and Peace

Sion Sono | Fantasy, Comedy | 117min | Japan 2015 | OmeU

For shy and awkward Ryoichi, dreams of musical superstardom have long since faded and he’s resigned himself to a lifetime of unrewarding office work for a company that barely acknowledges his existence. But when he randomly buys a pet turtle named Pikadon, a series of events are put into place that not only give Ryoichi the chance to fulfil his rock and roll fantasies, they might just bring about the end of the world. Santa, living toys, Kaiju monster and J-Pop-Punk – “Love and Peace” is pure Sono: a bonkers and uproarious one-of-a-kind that simply has to be seen to be believed.
