Tonight we're watching Kei Fujiwara's directorial debut ORGAN, made during the height of trip hop in 1996, and now playing in 2019 at FFFEST in NYC during the height of trap metal. Coincidence, we think not.

ORGAN is a genre-fusion tour de force for transgressive Japanese filmmaker Kei Fujiwara. We've got plant-body-horror, a full on detective drama, a woman working her way out of a cocoon, and gnarly school girls puking while subverting tropes of sexy schoolgirls, all captured with a female-gaze that would make Laura Mulvey stand up and write another essay.
