Walker In Attic(HKAFF 2016)

Set in the Taisho era, the critically acclaimed second film of Tanaka Noboru’s Showa trilogy depicts a boarding house populated by odd tenants. The oddest of them all is Goda, who peeps on other tenants from the attic through holes in the ceiling. When he witnesses boarding house owner Lady Minako commit murder, he falls so deeply in love with her that he decides to follow her footsteps. Tanaka embraces author Rampo Edogawa’s signature blend of eroticism and grotesque, creating an atmospheric mind-bender that set the mold for future adaptations of Rampo’s works.
