P. P. Rider
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Shinji Sômai
1983 / 118min / 4K DCP
Adapted from a story by Leonard Schrader—yes, Paul’s brother—P.P. Rider is a cheeky, playful, and consistently surprising adventure yarn about three young friends who, having witnessed the kidnapping of their school bully, set out on a journey across Japan in hopes of freeing him from his yakuza captors, mixing with incompetent cops and In the Realm of the Senses (1976) star Tatsuya Fuji along the way. A frisky farce employing a dazzling array of stylistic conceits, the filmmaking showing every bit the youthful glee of its protagonists.
