About The Scythian Lamb
Six unknown people move to the declining seaport city of Uobuka. Unremarkable city official, Tsukisue, is appointed to welcome them, but finds out the shocking truth that all of them are former murder suspects. Before long, an uneasiness begins to creep over the quiet city.
Directed by Daihachi Yoshida, The Scythian Lamb leans on a strong ensemble — Ryo Nishikido, Fumino Kimura, Ryuhei Matsuda — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2018.
