ADV Films Announces Synethesia
ADV ANNOUNCES FEBRUARY 27 RELEASE OF
SYNESTHESIA
When Wires Cross, Murder Takes Shape.
HOUSTON, December 6, 2006 —ADV Films, the number one producer-distributor of anime outside of Japan, is pleased to bring you a title that will redefine your perceptions. Can you hear smells? Can you taste the things you touch? You will when Synesthesia warps your senses on February 27!
Synesthesia (sin'is-the'zhea) • n – a rare sensory disorder that scrambles the senses so that shapes have taste, colors induce sound and textures evoke visions. Only those afflicted – called synesthetes – can truly understand their significance. This acid trip of the senses affects 1 in 100,000 people. And sometimes, two.
Synopsis: Shin is a professional voyeur who provides live camera feeds of everything from the street corner to the public toilet. He is also afflicted with a freakish condition known as synethesia – a glitch in his wiring that puts his five senses in a blender and spits out something close to insanity. A high-profile murder propels him into a psychological odyssey in pursuit of Picasso – a serial killer, snuff peddler and fellow synesthete – who leaves deadly hidden messages in his victims' blood that only Shin can decipher. Lulling his victims into a trance with a spellbinding video game, Picasso leads Shin down a mysterious, hypnotic trail of death. Murder, sex, betrayal – Shin's once hidden world is the one reality someone else is willing to kill for.
Synesthesia (SRP $19.98 DVD) is an anamorphic DVD-only release, presented in both English 4.0 and Japanese 4.0 with English subtitles. Synesthesia contains a second disk full of extras, including “The Making of Synesthesia”, a “Synesthesia Sneak Preview Party”, the opening night of Synesthesia, an interview with director Toru Matsuura and Shinji Takeda, the Japanese theatrical trailers, and the Japanese TV spots.
