Lobotomized and then turned to a sex slave, Pinocchio was thrown out onto the streets shortly after for not being able to fulfill his masters sexual needs. With no home to return to and no one to visit, he wanders the streets. Which eventually lead him to a female vagrant, Himiko. She decides to care for him and give him a place to stay. Her home is beneath the streets, in a large tunnel with tons of pipes running through it. He's unable to speak, so she decides to teach him, starting out with his name. After a couple of days, that's all he's saying. Back at Pinocchio's last location, his boss is looking for a replacement. When the man in charge of things finds out what she did with the first Pinocchio, he immediately assembles a search party and has them scour the city for him.
That same night, Pinocchio starts going a little crazy and begins speaking. He asks Himiko all sorts of questions, but gets no answers. Though he goes find out Himiko is working on a map of the city so that people like her can live easier and without memory. She brings Pinocchio with her one night. She gets thirsty and tells him to stay put as she gets something to drink. The store she goes into has the three men from the boss looking for Pinocchio. When she sees the picture they're showing people, she runs back to him, but he's no where to be found. She runs through the train station they're in, but has no luck in finding him.
When she arrives back home, he there's waiting for her. She's so happy to see him again that they celebrate by having sex. Himiko wakes up later in the night due to Pinocchio's screaming. He's on the ground convulsing and bleeding from the mouth. When she tries to help him, he pushes her across the room as she slams into a wall. Pus starts dripping from his head and eventually has his whole face dripping with it. Himiko starts to feel a pain in her gut and runs out into the train station. After screaming and running for quite a long time, she starts puking up a large amount of food. Actual pounds, to put it lightly. When she goes back home, Pinocchio is laying in a circle of of dried up pus and blood. She watches his body smoke while she eats a handful of puke she brought back with her.
Himiko later goes to a hardware store and picks up several metal supplies. Afterwards, she cleans him up and takes him to a junk yard. There he is chained up like a slave and dragged back home. She tortures him for awhile, then goes out on her own to spot one of the men looking for Pinocchio. She brings the man to Pinocchio, only for him to run to a phone to call for the other two men. The two come prepared to take on Pinocchio. One with a large light, and the other with a gun that shoot poisonous gas. When the two arrive at Himiko's home, they decide she must die too. Trying to shoot her with the gas, he misses and hits Pinocchio. She then gets the gun away from him and kills him with it. Pinocchio survives, and starts to chase after the two. When they lose him, he begins to run towards the destination where he came from. Only to ask the boss for help.
Some very long scenes seem to happen in this movie that don't really need to be as long. Such as when Himiko was losing her mind in the train station, then throwing up every where. The puking was pretty wild though. The amount of food she threw up seemed like it would weigh more than her. Another was when Pinocchio was running to the location of the boss at the end of the film. Due to the camera angles, it made the scene very interesting. Though it still could have been cut down some. Pinocchio's make-up nearing the end of the film was bland, but extremely nice looking. His entire head was light grey and cracking all over the place, as if he was a piece of charcoal that was just used. His clothes were a green color with white powder all over them. It was quite a vision to see something that boring look that good.
Very unique story as a man who was stripped of his memory is let loose in the world with no direction. Then meets another just like him. Trying to live in a world as outcasts, they both start to lose their minds and are separately taken on an insane hallucination that is completely real. The only dialogue presented in the film was basic questions and needed information. Which helped the film even more of being completely strange. Categorized as Japanese Cyberpunk. Not a new type of genre, though it's quite new to me. If the other cypberpunk films are as interesting and wild as this one, it will definitely be a great genre to keep up with.
Final Conclusion: 9/10

This movie is a perfect example of cyber-punk
dominion. Crazy as shit, but somehow sensical.

This may be one of the weirdest movies I've ever
seen, and I've seen my fair share of weird ones.
Some really great visuals in this one,
particularly during the hallucinogenic sequences.
Can't go any less than 9/10 on this one.
