Genre mash-up MFKZ (original title Mutafukaz) is a collaboration between French graphic novelist Guillaume “Run” Renard and the ultra-hip Japanese animation house, Studio 4°C, creators of Genius Party, Tekkonkinkreet, Animatrix, Batman Gotham Knight and others. The film is a dark but stunningly animated sci-fi vision that mixes anime, film noir, Lucha Libre, and gang culture in an orgy of first-person shooter mayhem. The film centers on young Angelino and his pal Vinz, who live in the LA-inspired metropolis of Dark Meat City – a burnt-out, neo-urban hell that makes Blade Runner’s LA seem like The Brady Bunch. Following a scooter accident Angelino starts experiencing strange hallucinations and fits of rage-inspired superpowers, as he slowly awakens to the truth of his origins: he is half human and half Macho, a supernatural alien race that is bent on taking over the planet
