**Starring**: Atsuko Ami, Enver Tenpai, Miyabi Ichijô, Ren Tamura, Yûzô Morita

November’s **Hallucinations** screening is Isao Fujisawa’s lost wonder **Bye Bye Love!**

Lost and nihilistic drifter Utamaro chances upon Giko, a femme shoplifter who immediately catches his eye. One thing leads to another: the couple soon find themselves on the lam for murder. This provides for a delightful pretext to explore notions of societal malaise, free love and gender fluidity in a rapidly evolving 1970s Japan, as both Utamaro and Giko begin to know each other on the road by way of a variety of surrealistic, psychedelic and frank sexual encounters.

Hosted by *Polygon’s* editor-in-chief Chris Plante, *Hallucinations* is a monthly event that spotlights movies that challenge our expectations of story, style, and “good taste”. We invite guests to bond over films that change what we expect from the medium, the world, and themselves. So come early, stay late, make friends, and watch something strange, surprising, or just shamelessly sick.
