MONDO MOXIE is a monthly showcase of fringe, underrated, and weirdo cinema.
Shozin Fukui’s live-action, underground cyberpunk masterpiece depicts the nightmarish journey of a discarded cybernetic sex android that is expelled from a brothel and left to fend for himself. Aimlessly wandering around the city, Pinocchio meets Kyoto, an amnesiac homeless girl with a horrible secret of her own. Together, they try to piece together their past lives and survive in a cruel, brutal hellscape. At the same time, Pinocchio’s fiendish creators search desperately to find their lost prototype android before the public and authorities discover him! As agents pursue Pinocchio, his frantic escape morphs into a mind-warping hallucinogenic thrill ride! Be prepared! Shozin Fukui’s masterful direction provides the viewer with a totally unique experience along the lines of Tetsuo: The Iron Man. This subversive underground classic packed the theaters in Japan back in the day where it was hailed as an innovative masterpiece! [Media Blasters]
