A story about a transvestite Eddie that takes place in the underground scene of Tokyo in the 1960s and references Sophocles’ tragedy Oedipus the King. One of the main films from the Japanese underground cinema icon Toshio Matsumoto. One of Stanley Kubrick’s favourite films, that in turn inspired him to create A Clockwork Orange.
