Battle Royale
What's it about?

Why did we pick it?
Equal parts dark dystopian horror and laugh out loud satire, it uses its shocking premise to pull you in and disturb but subvert your expectations holding a mirror up to how ridiculous it is, going full circle in its self-awareness.

Aki Maeda - Noriko Nakagawa (Girl #15)
Takeshi Kitano - Kitano
