Chicken Heart (2002)

衰男向前冲
2002 | Japan | Shimizu Hiroshi | ★★★★

Shimizu Hiroshi's hugely likeable Chicken Heart is a hilariously bizarre comedy starring Ikeuchi Hiroyuki, Imawano Kiyoshirō, and Matsuo Suzuki, featuring interesting visuals, notable performances, and a melancholically tender finale.
