"ColdFish" gory-dark-comedy

"Cold Fish (Japan, 2010) is the story of serial killer, Murata, who owns a tropical fish shop, and the way in which he forces Shamoto, a mild-mannered family man, to become his accomplice. To read a simple description of the events that take place in this film, you might expect something similar to Park Chan-Wook’s Oldboy: innovative in its aesthetics, but disturbing in its violence. In reality, Sion Sono’s film could hardly be more different. In OldBoy, violence has a tendency to steal centre stage from story, and visual innovation at times becomes an end in itself. In Cold Fish, on the other hand, bloody scenes have a clear relevance to theme and narrative, and its aesthetic, while polished, supports rather than distracts from the action."
