Japan goes film noir with Electronic Girl

24 August 2009 6:08 AM, PDT | 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news »

They brought us ‘Cyborg Girl’ now from Japan comes Electronic Girl. Repped through local movie house Ohara Bros (better known for bringing us such lunatic splatter fests as ‘Geisha Vs Ninja’ and ‘Samurai Princess) Electronic Girl is the brainchild of writer director Keita Matsuda who has blended live action film with digital green screen FX and cell animation. Watching the trailer you can’t help but make comparisons, stylistically, to Christian Volckman’s superb Noir thriller Renaissance. No bad thing if this latest creation comes anywhere near as good as that. Electronic Girl stars Maya Koizumi, Go Ayano in the leading roles and opens in Japan September 12th. Plot wise we’ve trawled the net and think we’ve come up with a relatively accurate summary…. »
