Love - Zero = Infinity
Tōru (Takeshi Itô) is a jobless drifter who spends his days following random strangers in a futile search for companionship. But when he’s hired by a doctor to track his mysterious wife’s (Kiyomi Itô) daily activities, he slowly begins to piece together the disturbing motive behind her movements. As the two grow increasingly aware of the other’s presence, violent desires that blur the lines between intimacy and blood ritual begin to erupt within them.
A modern-day vampire story filtered through legendary filmmaker Hisayasu Satô’s usual themes of urban malaise and voyeurism, Love - Zero = Infinity is as oddly romantic as it is unsettling. (Hisayasu Satô, Japan, 1994, 62 min.) In Japanese with English subtitles

Kyrie Eleison
A socially-isolated medical researcher (Kiyomi Itô) begins a series of bizarre experiments that she hopes may heal her boyfriend (Takeshi Itô) who has been left comatose after an accident. But as her wild experiments in wiretapping lead to increasingly violent and masochistic results, the lines between reality and nightmarish fantasy begin to irreparably blur. (Hisayasu Satô, Japan, 1993, 61 min.) In Japanese with English subtitles
