Japanese thriller from director Shion Sono which focuses on tropical fish seller Mr. Shamoto (Mitsuru Fukikoshi) who unwittingly goes into business with an elderly psychopath. When Shamoto's troubled daughter Mitsuko (Hikari Kajiwara) is caught shoplifting at a local store, he rushes to diffuse the situation. On arriving there, Shamoto finds himself being charmed by a rival business owner, Mr. Murata (Denden), and decides it might be in his interests to let Mitsuko work and board at Murata's much fancier aquarium. Soon, however, Shamoto realises everything is not as it seems, and that Mr. Murata is hiding a chilling secret behind his smile.

Additional InformationShamoto (Mitsuru Kukikoshi) is the nerdy proprietor of a store dealing in tropical fish. Shamoto's home life isn't especially happy -- his second wife Taeko (Megumi Kagurazaka) has a sharp tongue and an eye for other men, while his teenage daughter Mitsuko (Hikari Kajiwara) has little use for either of them. One night, Mitsuko is picked up for shoplifting at a supermarket, but another customer, Murata (Denden), unexpectedly steps in to help. Murata, who owns a much larger fish store, offers to give Mitsuko a job, and Shamoto is grateful for his help. However, before long Mitsuko is literally living in Murata's store, and Shamoto suspects his new friend is not as benevolent as he first thought -- a notion confirmed when Murata and his wife Aiko (Asuka Kurosawa) trick Shamoto into cleaning up the scene of a murder they've just committed. Loosely inspired by a true story, COLD FISH was directed by Sion Sono.
