Another double bill in the New Asian Cinema season. This chilling double-helping offers viewers a chance to see parts one and two of Death Note. Shusuke Kaneko's stylish horror film, based on a popular manga, stars Tatsuya Fujiwara as Light Yagami, an idealistic young law student. He comes into possession of a notebook which, he discovers, has the power to kill anyone whose name is written in its pages. First using it to kill those who have escaped the forces of law and order, power soon goes to his head. Egged on by an angel of death, Ryuk, an apple-crunching CGI monster Tim Burton would envy, he begins killing the innocent. On his trail is the enigmatic L, a web wizard hired by the police to track down Light through the avatar he has set up on a site to goad the authorities.
