Wild Zero

Japan, 1999, 98 min, Tetsuro Takeuchi, Japanese,
original version with english subtitles

Directed by Tetsuro Takeuchi and led by the real garage rock legends Guitar Wolf , Wild Zero is pure anarchic cinema: zombies, motorcycles, leather jackets, love beyond all gender boundaries and the unshakeable truth that rock 'n' roll will save your life. Here, the apocalypse is not a tragedy, but liberation - an excuse to burn the rule book and turn the volume all the way up. The wasteland is no longer an industrial graveyard; it is a stage, battlefield and dance floor all in one. If there is a moral, it is this: "Love knows no borders, nationalities or genders." Everything else? Blow it away.
