We first took note of Miki Satohsi's The Insects Unlisted In The Encyclopedia back in March thanks to a post on Don Brown's Ryuganji pointing out that the film will be the next chance to see Babel's Kikuchi Rinko in action. It sounds like a slab of typically Japanese oddness, here's Brown's synopsis:
A freelance writer (Iseya Yusuke) is given a bizarre assignment by the sexy editor of “Black Book Monthly” (Mizuno Miki): find a bug with the power to bring humans back from the dead, in order to report on the afterlife. With his trusty companion Endo (Matsuo Suzuki) in tow, he sets off on a quest for the elusive insect and along the way meets the mysterious Sayoko (Kikuchi), a former dominatrix and habitual wrist-cutter who delights in rubbing wasabi into her wounds.
The official website has just been updated and a full trailer is now available.
