"The Siblings on the Cape," a provocative work by emerging Japanese director Shinzō Katayama, explores moral controversies of human nature, inspired by the sensational real-life case known as the "Zama Nine Corpses Incident." A girl searches for her missing father and discovers a young man resembling a serial killer who has assumed her father's identity; she decides to trace her father through this man. Father told his daughter just the night before, "I saw the wanted serial killer today; catching him would bring a reward of three million yen." The next day, he mysteriously disappears. Desperate, the daughter follows clues to her father's workplace, calling out his name, only to be confronted by a stranger who looks strikingly like the serial killer on the wanted poster! The film transitions from searching for a father, to a killer, to death itself, capturing the intimate atmosphere of a father-daughter relationship while embedding harsh social criticism within its narrative shifts of intense violence. Acclaimed actor JirōSatō departs from his comedic persona to portray the complex emotional struggles of the father, while rising star Shunya Shimizu delivers a seemingly harmless yet chillingly cruel performance.
