三个陌生的情人

　　Murayama Kaita, a Japanese painter, novelist and poet died in 1919 at the age of 22, leaving behind an impressive and time-defying body of work. In his most recent film, Sato Hisayasu offers a surreal, time-crossing, meta-layered essay on the artist, his originality and his legacy.
　　Dear Kaita Ablaze brings together a young woman Azami obsessed with Murayama's painting, a young man Saku, who can hear unusual frequencies and claims to be Murayama or his spiritual imprint and a quartet of young performers with psychic abilities. They bond over Murayama’s work which they recreate in performative dance while driving to a mysterious cave called Agartha.
　　Sato Hisayasu (The Eye's Dream, Muscle, The Bedroom), renowned for his pinku and exploration of madness and lust, returns to IFFR. Dear Kaita Ablaze is hyper-dense, obsessive and driven, effortlessly mashing surrealism with sci-fi and mysticism, layering seemingly unrelated events and encounters to bring them together in a monumental climax.

　　在一个滂沱大雨的夜晚，辣手干探Chul-jung在监视行动中突然人有三急，却找不到「解决」的地方。当他躲在灯柱完成「解决」后，一个穿著雨衣的神秘男人与他擦身而过。Chul-jung认为此人形迹可疑，上前查问，突然间神秘男子手中的利刀一闪而过，Chul-jung眼角流血，神秘男人亦瞬即不见了踪影。
　　
　　一星期后，Chul-jung驻守的地区发生了一宗凶杀案。死者是一对年老的夫妇，警方发现他们是被捅多刀致死的，现场亦留下了行凶的凶器。可是，大家对这宗案件仍毫无头绪。Chul-jung仔细观察尸体，突然想起当晚曾在雨中被神秘男人击倒的事，并认得凶器和那个男人手持的刀一样。Chul-jung因此锁定了那个男人便是杀人凶手。
　　
　　经过连番调查，Chul-jung直觉认为投资公司顾问Kyu-hwan的嫌疑最大，可是却苦无证据。Chul-jung利用了自己的职权，不顾一切的派员跟踪Kyu-hwan，甚至不惜任何代价，都要令Kyu-hwan露出马脚，找到杀人的证据。然而，Kyu-hwan亦并非等闲之辈，他利用了自己的权势，令Chul-jung被降职，以求令Chul-jung停止对自己的滋扰。就在这时，另一宗谋杀案又发生了，手法跟第一宗亦一模一样……
　　
　　全片充满北野武式的暴力影像与黑色幽默，血液喷涌的枪伤、利刃狂插的杀人场景，在怵目惊心之余，也质疑所谓公理正义的真谛。
