"Shin Onna Tachiguishi Retsuden," an omnibus film directed by Mamoru Oshii and four other directors, has been chosen to participate in the 58th Berlin International Film Festival. It will be screened as part of a festival section themed around food and culture which was created last year.
The movie is a follow-up to Oshii's "Tachiguishi Retsuden" and "Onna Tachiguishi Retsuden," dealing with "fast food grifters" - people who eat at restaurants without paying. It is composed of six stories, starring different actresses such as Yuko Ogura and Miki Mizuno. The film opened in Japan in November.
