Synopsis

Produced by Mamoru OSHII, internationally acclaimed filmmaker of Ghost In The Shell and Avalon, and directed by a group of virtuosos including OSHII himself and Kenji KAMIYAMA, Eat And Run - 6 Beautiful Grifters showcases six short pieces combined to form an omnibus movie (a refreshing departure from its 2006 predecessor Amazing Lives Of The Fast Food Grifters). Each of the six segments stars an actress, including Maki MIZUNO, well-known among Korean audience, and Yuriko HISHIMI, a veteran performer, whose on-screen presence is simply breathtaking. The six mini-films criss-cross different genres such as western, science fiction and #999999 comedy, though all center around the theme of culinary exploration, entertaining viewers with light-hearted fun and laughs. Like the luscious, seductive mini morsels inside a Valentine's Day chocolate box, Eat And Run offers diversity and individuality wrapped in the collaboration of six director-actress combinations.
