“A loose, twisted translation of the classic Disney story”
Dazed and Confused

“An epic and disturbing journey of self discovery”
Vice

Seems not all Pinocchios are made of wood as a lobotomized sex bot is discarded, only to be discovered by an over-eager outcast who teaches him the ways of vengeance. Directed by Shozin Fukui, assistant director to Shinya Tsukamoto (TETSUO: THE IRON MAN), this squishy nightmare (or dream) for ASMR enthusiasts and the sexually repressed is both philosophical quandary and low-tech industrial screech from hell. Featuring music by Dowser, expect it to be played at maximum volume—for maximum effect.
