Rotterdam programmers always had a knack for screening “weird” Japanese films, as in the case of Akira Ikeda for example. “Shell and Joint” definitely follows that “legacy”.
“Shell and Joint” is screening at the International Film Festival Rotterdam
The film comprises of a series of vignettes, where various character interact, with a capsule hotel, insects and a number of existential topics providing the connection among them. The main sketch revolves around two reception attendants, a man and a woman who happen to be childhood friends, who talk about suicide in a rather surrealistic way, since the woman has made multiple attempts herself, but blames it all on bacteria that control her mind.
Apart from them, the sauna room in the hotel is a recurring setting, where a number of people discuss mostly about sex, men for their erection and women for the perversions of men and their performances in bed.
