Ahead of the highly anticipated U.S. release of his Venice Biennale and TIFF selected feature Inu-Oh, GKIDS has announced additional theaters where fans can experience this mind-blowing animated feature, and released a new trailer for their Masaaki Yuasa collection.
Featuring the films Mind Game (2004, Studio 4°C), Lu Over the Wall (2o17, Science Saru), The Night Is Shorts, Walk on Girl (2017, Science Saru) and Ride Your Wave (2019, Science Saru) as well as his latest, Inu-Oh, The Works of Masaaki Yuasa is a showcase of the acclaimed director’s varied approaches, bold style and perpetual ability to astound the senses.
Described as a 14th century rock opera, Inu-Oh is named for one of hte main characters: a boy born into an esteemed family but afflicted with an ancient curse twisting his form. When he meets the blind musician Tomona, a young biwa priest haunted by his past voiced by Queen Bee’s Avu-chan, Inu-oh discovers a captivating ability to dance. The pair quickly become business partners and inseparable friends as crowds flock to their electric, larger-than-life concerts. But when those in power threaten to break up the band, Inu-oh and Tomona must dance and sing to uncover the truth behind their creative gifts.
The film opens nationwide on Friday, August 12. In addition to previously announced theaters, GKIDS has added the following markets to the release. Find theaters and showtimes near you at inu-oh.com.
