Survive Style 5+ involves five bizarre stories with no apparent connection to one and other eventually become intertwined, resulting in surreal circumstances.

A salaryman wins tickets to the latest stage sensation, a hypnosis show called “Viva Friends.” In the middle of the performance, an assassin appears and murders the hypnotist, leaving the salaryman stranded and convinced he’s a bird.

A gang of burglars roam the suburbs while simultaneously dealing with their budding lust for one another.

Meanwhile, a man kills and buries his wife, only to have her claw her way out of the grave and go after him with missile arms and fire breath, over and over again.

Acclaimed commercial director Gen Sekiguchi pulls all these strands together into a film that’s thrillingly original. Survive Style 5+ jettisons traditional movie tropes and aims for something more, a movie where love means never having to kill your wife more than five or six times.

Sekiguchi directed the film from a script by Taku Tada. Survive Style 5+ stars Tadanobu Asano, Reika Hashimoto, Kyôko Koizumi, Hiroshi Abe, Ittoku Kishibe, Yumi Asô, Kanji Tsuda, Yoshiyuki Morishita, Sonny Chiba, Jai West, Yoshiyoshi Arakawa, Vinnie Jones, Shihori Kanjiya, Tomokazu Miura and Ryûnosuke Kamiki.
