Smuggler
Body bags pay the bills
Directed by Katsuhito Ishii
Produced by Grasshoppa!, Django Film
A darkly comedic crime caper about a desperate failed actor caught between yakuza, corpses, and an assassin, balancing absurdist humor with genuine peril.
To pay off his loan shark, failed actor Ryōsuke Kinuta is forced to smuggle dead bodies – and one live elite assassin – in the middle of the night.
