Destruction Babies 18
Delinquent runaway Taira (Yuya Yagira, Nobody Knows) leaves his hometown for the city, where he aimlessly roams the streets picking fights with random bystanders. Rallied on by a high schooler, Taira’s street-side scuffles soon turn into a sinister game.
Destruction Babiesis a brutal and unflinching drama depicting the unstoppable desires and impluses of lost young people intoxicated by violence. The commercial debut by director Tetsuya Mariko, this exciting and unpredictable film scooped the Prize for the Best Emerging Director, Locarno International Film Festival upon its international premiere in 2016.
The film will be introduced by Dr Kate Taylor-Jones, Senior Lecturer in East Asian Studies at The University of Sheffield
