本作の主人公は、植木屋で働き、いつも雑誌の切り抜きをポケットに入れて1人で妄想している変わり者・大島杜和（とわ）。彼はコンビニで働く上尾園子に恋をし、彼女と話すために店から木の葉で道を作っておびき寄せようとする。その道をたどってきた園子もまた、廃工場で暮らして奇妙な生き物の彫刻を作っている変わり者。劇中では、周りになじめない彼らが2人だけの世界を作り、仲を深めていくさまが描かれる。
Two codependent best friends become addicted to the heroin-like touch of an alien narcissist who may or may not be trying to take over the world. Writer and director Addison Heimann’s second feature film is provocatively comedic, inventive, and insane in the best possible way. An ode to the deliriously stylistic lens of Japanese cinema in the ’60s and ’70s, Touch Me dares to “go there” with its themes of mental health, desire, and Hentai-infused sexual abandon. Olivia Taylor Dudley sinks into character to portray a fractured and wandering human being in desperate need of a life-affirming touch, while Lou Taylor-Pucci’s tracksuit-clad alien persona is played to delightful perfection. Jordan Gavaris and Marlene Forte round out an impeccable cast of far-out characters who manage to be at once acrimonious yet relatable. The end result is a weird, wild, and frenzied fever dream with so much to unpack. While we may not be able to relieve ourselves of self-doubt, deep-seated childhood trauma, and debilitating anxiety with the simple touch of an extraterrestrial being, maybe life isn’t so bad after all?
