Hiroshi Harada, Suehiro Maruo

Director

Suehiro Maruo is a Japanese manga artist associated with the ero-guro (erotic-grotesque) tradition; Hiroshi Harada is an animator/director who collaborated on the animated adaptation Midori (Shōjo Tsubaki).

Midori (Shōjo Tsubaki) is an animated adaptation of Suehiro Maruo's work, associated with controversial, graphic imagery and the ero-guro aesthetic.

A highly positive, poetic appraisal of Midori's nightmarish imagery and body-focused grotesquerie. The reviewer praises the film as a form of poetry made of blood, darkness and broken limbs. Intense, melancholic and disturbing.

For:Fans of ero-guro and grotesque manga, viewers of extreme/experimental animation, art-house and cult film audiences.

 "Boiled dog in the hellish cauldron, multicolored infant monster, head cut off and cooked with reed leaves! The blood of the grand ensign spills out! Bobbed hair, overturned toy chest! Juggler’s balls containing lullabies! Mourned mother, perforated balls! It’s the belt of the girl who can’t marry! Butterfly decorations, gold and silver threads! Cat’s head when the bird turns! Bells on the wounded mouth! Eyes and pupils twirling trapped in the barn."
