Yoshimasa ISHIBASHI
MILOCRORZE – A Love Story
Nippon Cinema ª
Love is a strange thing. Especially when Yoshimasa ISHIBASHI choses to tell a story about it. In his first feature film, he unfolds his broad range of artistic influences to create a truly unique and intriguingly funny experience – somewhere between a samurai revenge movie, a weird hyper-colorful fairytale and TV commercials gone wild. MILOCRORZE is funny. MILOCRORZE is moving. MILOCRORZE will get you!
