- DirectorLars von TrierStarsMatt DillonBruno GanzUma ThurmanIn five episodes, failed architect and vicious sociopath Jack recounts his elaborately orchestrated murders -- each, as he views them, a towering work of art that defines his life's work as a serial killer in the Pacific Northwest.
- DirectorPeter WatkinsStarsPatrick BolandKent ForemanCarmen Argenziano"Punishment Park" is a pseudo-documentary purporting to be a film crews's news coverage of the team of soldiers escorting a group of hippies, draft dodgers, and anti-establishment types across the desert in a type of capture the flag game. The soldiers vow not to interfere with the rebels' progress and merely shepherd them along to their destination. At that point, having obtained their goal, they will be released. The film crew's coverage is meant to insure that the military's intentions are honorable. As the representatives of the 60's counter-culture get nearer to passing this arbitrary test, the soldiers become increasingly hostile, attempting to force the hippies out of their pacifist behavior. A lot of this film appears improvised and in several scenes real tempers seem to flare as some of the "acting" got overaggressive. This is a interesting exercise in situational ethics. The cinéma vérité style, hand-held camera, and ambiguous demands of the director - would the actors be able to maintain their roles given the hazing they were taking - pushed some to the brink. The cast's emotions are clearly on the surface. Unfortunately this film has gone completely underground and is next to impossible to find. It would offer a captivating document of the distrust that existed between soldiers willfully serving in the military and those persons who opposed the war peacefully.

- DirectorHideo SakakiStarsKen'ichi EndôTamotsu IshibashiYûta KajiwaraExtreme hardboiled world which unfolds in beautiful Kyoto town - Set in Kyoto's amusement area/Kiyamachi, sad story of a man who carries a burden on his body - Protagonist Katsuura once led the organization which dominated Kyoto's Kiyamachi. He lost his arms and legs due to an incident 5 years ago. Receiving care from Sakamoto, young man of the organization, he makes a living in desperation by collecting money from the debtors with his handicapped body. Katsuura and Sakamoto see debtors' lives have been broken. While suffering in dirty underworld society, they came to know the fact of that incident 5 years ago... This work cuts the taboo in Japanese society, and draws direct sufferance and way of life of men who are caught up in absurdity of organization and society, underneath the underworld community. The original work is a novel of a writer Hiroyuki Maruno with the same title, who continues to challenge the taboo of the times. In 2012, the ban on this e-book was removed from App Store, but the problem was novel which was banned of publishing prohibition, "too dangerous contents!", "too extreme to release!", "No possibility to publish". It has been refused to release continuously by so-called big plural publishing companies, magazines related to underworld community, big self-publishing companies. Maruno is also in charge of screenplay for this work.
