Synopsis
"HE’LL MAKE YOU PICK UP THE PIECES
Shamoto runs a small tropical fish shop and leads a boring, but stable life. His second wife, Taeko, does not get along with his daughter, Mitsuko, and this worries him. He also feels somehow unfulfilled and dissatisfied with what his life has become.
One day Mitsuko is caught shoplifting at a department store. There they meet a friendly man named Murata, who helps to settle things between Mitsuko and the store manager. Since Murata also runs a tropical fish shop, Shamoto establishes a bond with him and they become friends; Mitsuko even begins working for Murata and living at his house, to avoid conflicts with her stepmother.
What Shamoto doesn’t know, however, is that Murata hides many dark secrets behind his friendly face. He sells cheap fish to his customers for high prices with his artful lies. If anyone detects his fraud or refuses to go along with his money-making schemes, they’re murdered and their bodies disposed of by Murata and his wife in grisly ways. Shamoto is slowly taken in by Murata’s tactics, and by the time he realizes that Murata is insane, and a serial killer who has made over fifty people disappear, he is powerless to do anything about it. But now Mitsuko is a hostage at Murata’s home, and Shamoto himself has become the killer’s unwilling accomplice!
Meanwhile, the murders, without any trace of the bodies, continue unabated. The police have long suspected Murata and try to get information about him from Shamoto; Murata quickly senses the danger and threatens Shamoto not to report anything to the police.
In the end, the conflict between Shamoto and Murata will result in murder, insanity, and an ordinary man being driven to the edge of the abyss."
Cold Fish premieres next week at the Toronto International Film Festival. Check out the trailer, which made its debut over at Twitch Film, below.

Via Instapundit - Adler on barbering at Volokh takes a pair of clippers to the industry, but gives it a bad cut. Barbers aren't the problem. They are a dying breed. I've a soon to retire family member who is an expert on this topic, from barbershop floor, to state licensing board.
The licensing regime that is killing men's barbering is driven by cosmetologists and cosmetology boards, as well as public and some private education institutions - often subsidized by taxpayer money. It began in the 70's when blow drying and hair salons became the rage.
Time was, one did a quick stint at a barber school - maybe six months, then served a time as an apprentice under a master barber. But you were still out working and making money within six months from the time you began. And you only had to learn what you needed to
In states, mostly Blue ones, with vast regulatory schemes, you now have to endure two full years of schooling, often at a community college, or public tech school. And you have to learn everything from doing a manicure, to putting highlights in women's hair, and more.
Adler is correct in that it is a regulatory scheme that has done nothing but drastically drive up the prices of men's haircuts and limit competition. However, it is not driven by what one might consider a typical old-fashioned barber. It is being driven by chains of hair salons, in conjunction with government bureaucrats all too happy to regulate anything. And bureaucrats behind mostly public post-high school education programs have a large hand in it, too.
I believe another relative is the last officially licensed barber in one state. After him, everyone is a cosmetologist, whether they like it, want it, need it, or not.
