Winner of the Rotterdam Film Festival's International Critic's Prize, Peep “TV” Show rages forth from Japan's dizzying Shibuya underground like a Dostoyevskian screed for the twenty-first century, where hidden webcams, lost youth, televisual violence, and girls dressed as goth Lolitas merge to embrace, or annihilate, the voyeurism of contemporary culture. Two street kids, the nihilistic Hasegawa (looking like a missing Ramone brother) and the suicidal Moe (looking like a punked-out Alice in Wonderland), set up an Internet site that begins by posting 9/11 footage, then branches out to include spy-cam shots, animal deaths, and necrophilia. Turning viewers into the viewed, and vice versa, their “peep TV” site becomes a mass movement, a space for those seeking “reality,” or seeking to avoid it. “We have been robbed of our own reality,” director Tsuchiya (whose A New God played in our 2002 neo-eiga series) writes. “Are you a spectator of the rerun, or are you a member of the cast? Or are you really here at all?”
