' 964 Pinocchio' (1991) - Coming to Blu-Ray from 88Films
Release Date: March 24
" 964 Pinocchio depicts the nightmarishly surreal adventures of an illegally manufactured sex android found abandoned by his former owner and rescued from the scrap heap by a young woman, Himiko. She begins to tutor him in the ways of the world as if he were her own child, but with his original creators closing in, eager to conceal his existence from the authorities, it is not long before Pinocchio goes completely rogue.
The feature debut of filmmaker and industrial musician Shozin Fukui (Rubber's Lover) presents a raw, hand-tooled vision that unfolds with a visceral and stomach-churning intensity as a break-neck charge through a brutal and uncaring post-industrial netherworld.
88 Films proudly presents this classic of early-90s Japanese cyberpunk cinema for the very first time on home video in the United Kingdom in a new 4K scan."
