19:30 Doors 20:00 Inleiding Georgy Dendoe 20:05 Battle Royale (2000)

On this Halloween night, Sumibu and MUBI  present a special screening of a truly haunting cult classic: Battle Royale (2000) by Kinji Fukasaku.  

Before Squid Game was even invented, Japanese director Kinji Fukasaku caused a sensation with his dystopian bloodbath, Battle Royale. Based on a controversial novel by Kōshun Takami, this highly political and adrenaline-charged movie adds a modern twist to the classic Lord of the Flies scenario.  

In the near future, unemployment has soared and juvenile crime has exploded in the face of economic recession. The Japanese government passes The BR Law, in which 9th graders are sent to a remote island where they will be forced to hunt and kill each other until there is only one survivor left.

Includes brief introduction by Georgy Dendoe and exclusive Sumibu x MUBI merchandise.

Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films. Please note that there may occasionally be some noise pollution from other programmes during the screening.
