The Duel Project
2LDK and Aragami

This DVD features two films from Yukihiko Tsutsumi and Ryuhei Kitamura who were challenged by Shinya Kawai to each create a feature length movie, with two principal actors, battling in one setting, and filmed entirely in one week.

Tsutsumi's 2LDK concerns aspiring actresses Nozomi and Lana, who share an apartment and have just auditioned for the same part in a film. Waiting for the phone call that will decide their future, petty arguments escalate into hysterical violence, bringing the girls' hatred of one another to the surface as they confront the reality of their empty, unfulfilled lives.

In Kitamura's Aragami, a wounded samurai awakes to find that not only has his comrade died, but that his wounds have miraculously healed. He discovers that he has been given the power of immortality by a man once known as the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, who now lives an endless existence as Aragami, a 'god of battle'.
