Cold Fish - Sion Sono (2010)


One tropical fish dealer meets another tropical fish dealer. It sounds like the start of a bad joke, but the latest film from "Love Exposure" director Sion Sono is no joke.

This other fish dealer turns out is a serial killer and their friendship takes them down a spiral of murder and insanity.
