Koh (Takashi Miike regular Riki Takeuchi) loves his Kawasaki W3 more than anything—even his sweet, soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend. He thinks he finds his perfect match in Miyoko, a free spirited girl from a rural island who is down to ride. But when Miyoko’s natural abilities surpass Koh’s own and she lusts for something beefier than her 250cc starter bike, Koh worries that she’s revving down a dangerous path. Switching between film stocks and aspect ratios, incorporating avant-garde gags, and featuring some breathtaking urban and island riding scenes, His Motorbike, Her Island is a funny and stylish pop-art romance from House filmmaker Nobuhiko Obayashi.Special thanks to Nico B/Cult Epics and Bret Berg/AGFA.
