Mia Wasikowska and Christopher Abbott star in this lusciously filmed adaptation of Ryū Murakami’s novel (writer of Takashi Miike’s Audition) that delves into the darkest domains of human nature with a color-saturated tale of deviant desire and unspeakable urges. In this pulsating psycho-sexual thriller, a young man faces the terrible fear he will stab his baby daughter. He decides that killing a young prostitute will alleviate the building tension inside him and protect his baby and his sweet wife. He plans everything meticulously, but what he doesn’t bargain for is that his intended victim, an S&M call girl, is as disturbed as he is. Not for the squeamish or faint-hearted, Piercing blends cold-blooded tension and unexpected humor with a rousing soundtrack of giallo tunes by Bruno Nicolai and legendary outfit Goblin.
