Posted by: Erin F. on June 19, 2008 at 3:46 pm
In conjunction with the New York Asian Film Festival, PopCultureShock is giving away three passes to the international premiere of Tamami: The Baby’s Curse, based on manga by Kazuo Umezu.
To enter, email ninjaconsultant@gmail.com between now and 5 PM tomorrow (Friday, June 20th), and we will select three winners by a random drawing.
You might remember Umezu for titles such as Drifting Classroom and Cat-Eyed Boy. Tamami: The Baby’s Curse, was directed by Yudai Yamaguch, whose Cromartie High School film was in the NYAFF in 2006. Yamaguch also directed the gory sports comedy Battlefield Baseball.
Here’s a description of Tamami: The Baby’s Curse from the NYAFF website:
Birthed in trauma, Yoko (Nako Mizusawa) is a fifteen-year-old orphan who suddenly discovers that she isn’t an abandoned child after all: her birth family are still alive and they want her back. She arrives at the family mansion to discover that her mother is insane, the housekeeper is a creepy old ghoul and her dad is a kindly, but distracted, professor of…we’re never quite sure. Oh, and there’s a crazed mutant baby in the attic that has the mind of an adult but the body of a killer infant with claws and fangs. And it’s not happy to have a big sister.
