Based on Kanehara Hitomi's Akutagawa-winning novel, Snakes and Earrings (a.k.a. Hebi ni Piasu ) jumps into the piercing world of body modification and youth degeneration. Up-and-coming actress Yoshitaka Yuriko ( Noriko's Dinner Table, Adrift in Tokyo ) gives a brave performance as a young woman increasingly lost in pain and desolation opposite ARATA ( Ping Pong ) and Kora Kengo ( M ). Intense and unflinching in its portrayal of body mod and S&M, Snakes and Earrings is the first feature from legendary theater director Ninagawa Yukio, best known for his Shakespeare productions. Also look for appearances from Fujiwara Tatsuya ( Death Note ), Oguri Shun ( Crows: Episode 0 ), and Karasawa Toshiaki ( 20th Century Boys ). Looking for thrills, 19-year-old Lui (Yoshitaka Yuriko) moves in with her new boyfriend Ama (Kora Kengo), a pierced and tattooed guy she met at a nightclub. Through Ama, Lui meets sadistic tattoo artist and body piercer Shiba (ARATA), whom she strikes up a relationship with in exchange for body modifications. Floating between the two men, she finds herself falling into a downward spiral of violence, sadomasochism, and alcoholism.
