Genocide
Directed by Kazui Nihonmatsu
Produced by Shochiku
A bleak, surreal Cold War nightmare where killer insects become a vehicle for exploring nuclear annihilation and the absurdity of human destruction.
A group of military personnel transporting a hydrogen bomb are left to figure out how and why swarms of killer bugs took down their plane; the answer is more deliriously nihilistic, and convoluted, than they could imagine.
