片场杀机

已拍过三部电影却无缘放映的独立导演秀二（西岛秀俊 饰），长久以来始终坚持拍摄真正艺术电影的目标，他一方面控诉着当下的商业体制，一方面尽自己所能让更多的人了解电影之美。谁知长久以来资助他的哥哥，因向自己所在的黑帮高额举债无力偿还被杀。备受打击的秀二，必须在两周之内还清哥哥的债务。最终，他做出了一个连黑道都分为震惊的决定：那就是以哥哥被打死的厕所为据点，通过挨揍来赚钱还债。黑帮分子的拳打脚踢让他皮开肉绽，而在那一刻影史上一幕幕经典场景盘桓脑海给秀二以短暂的慰籍。平日里，他会参拜黑泽明、沟口健二、小津安二郎的墓地，仿佛从巨匠那里会得到前进的勇气与力量。 　　就这样，还钱的最后期限慢慢到来……Shuji is an uncompromising young filmmaker at odds with Japanese society. One day he learns that his loan shark brother, who had helped to finance his films, has been executed by his own yakuza gang for failing to repay his debts. Described as a love poem to Japanese films of the past, as well as a protest at the present, Cut is an exploration of one man's obsessive relationship with cinema.
