Cold Fish

Mild-mannered Shamoto's teenage daughter gets caught shoplifting. A generous fellow fish-store owner and his wife appear to help resolve the situation by having her work at their fish store. Shamoto soon discovers the horrific truth about this seemingly perfect couple...who inextricably weave him into their grisly rituals. A mix of satire and macabre splatter. COLD FISH has won acclaim at both the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals. Inspired by the true case of a Japanese serial killer, Cold Fish (originally Tsumetai nettaigyo) is the second part of Sion Sono's hate trilogy.
