When a disgraced livestreamer discovers a trove of rare vintage denim in a Colorado mine, he follows it to Tokyo -- and straight into the arms of a woman who may be using him. Caught between desire and betrayal, he soon finds himself entangled in black-market turf wars, yakuza, and a past that refuses to stay buried.

Vintage Violence is an addictive fusion of genre set through Kotlyarenko’s hyper-stylized cinematic aesthetic, which is grounded seamlessly by charming performances from Sprouse and Mizuhara. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Sep 19, 2026
As much as it indulges in the same immediate gratification as its hero traffics in, it has enough on its mind to stay there a little longer in yours. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
