Moon Child R1 Ws (Region 1) - Zeze, TakahisaReleasedatum: 18 mei 2004
Japanese pop stars Gackt and HYDE star in this wildly entertaining hybrid of futuristic science-fiction, John Woo-style gunplay and gothic vampire horror. Moon Child follows a group of childhood friends as they advance in a futuristic criminal underworld. Boyishly handsome Sho feels he is doomed to walk in his idol Kei's footsteps as a vampire with the gift of eternal life and the curse of blood thirst. They, along with Son, rise as small-time gangsters while living on the streets and killing for sport and survival. Over time, their tight friendship becomes corrupted because of their rivalry and shared love for the same woman. Boasting pulpy storylines and genre influences, filmmaker Takahisa Zeze brings a deliciously stylized sting to a blood-draining, hyper-violent proceedings.
