A compelling movie based on the Japanese novel 藁にもすがる獣たち, the film starts at the end and takes you all the way back to the beginning, before wrapping up with a satisfying epilogue.
Overall a hard story to explain, I’ll use Mubi’s description instead:
A Louis Vuitton bag stuffed full of cash sends a group of lowlifes on a desperate chase for fortune. Fish-mongering gangsters, a greasy cop, an “innocent” gym cleaner, a young sex worker, her abusive husband, her ruthless boss and her clueless boyfriend al scheme to get their hands on the bag.
First screened May 16, 2023 on Mubi.
