The latest film from acclaimed filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa, known for works like "Cure" and "Pulse."
Ryosuke Yoshii (Masaki Suda) works at a small factory and makes extra money reselling items like medical devices and handbags under the pseudonym "Ratel." Guided by his college classmate Muraoka (Masataka Kubota), who suggests a lucrative proposal, Yoshii chooses instead to pursue his own questionable activities, trusting only his growing bank balance.
With help from Sano (Daiken Okudaira), a local youth, his reselling business flourishes—until unsettling incidents arise. Suspicious vehicles, a broken window, stalking shadows, and online harassment contribute to a growing atmosphere of hostility. As the situation escalates, a chaotic mob targets Yoshii, whose once peaceful life unravels amidst the turmoil.

Friendship
“Friendship truly has all the makings of a future comedy classic.” – Collider
Channelling the comedy of his hit sketch series I Think You Should Leave, Tim Robinson portrays a suburban dad obsessively pursuing camaraderie with his charming neighbour (Paul Rudd).
When a delivery mistake introduces suburban dad Craig Waterman (Tim Robinson) to his new neighbour, Austin Carmichael (Paul Rudd), a friendship begins. They bond over urban exploration, punk rock, and ancient artifacts. However, Craig’s obsessive behavior soon drives Austin away, threatening to upend Craig’s life.
Writer-director Andrew DeYoung adeptly creates moments for Robinson to display both his innocent side and his comically frustrated side, which he is well-known for. This is especially effective as he interacts with Paul Rudd’s disarmingly charming character, creating a contrast to the energy that Robinson brings to the film.
