Presented by Oscarbate // Featuring a recorded intro from visual artist + Japanese pink film scholar Dakota Noot

A master of combining the macabre with nihilistic and ill-fated character studies of women on the brink of madness, the master filmmaker presents one of his most unsettling (and unpredictable) looks at doomed and demented relationships, all newly restored in 2K from their 35mm original camera negatives, under Satô’s supervision, and presented by Pink Line for the first time!

Satô’s study of the psychosexual world of loneliness, Kyrie Eleison tells the story of a socially isolated medical researcher who begins a series of bizarre experiments she hopes may heal her boyfriend left comatose after an accident. But as her wild experiments in wiretapping have increasingly violent and masochistic results, the lines between reality and nightmare start to irreparably blur. Part softcore, part female detective movie – we are happy to present one of Sato’s most idiosyncratic works.
