Earthquake Bird is a 2019 psychological thriller film directed by Wash Westmoreland, based on the novel of the same name by Susanna Jones. It stars Alicia Vikander as Lucy Fly, a young woman living in Tokyo who becomes embroiled in a love triangle with local photographer Teiji (Naoki Kobayashi) and Lily Bridges (Riley Keough), an American newcomer who befriends Lucy.
The film is set against the backdrop of the 1989 earthquake that devastated Tokyo, which adds to the sense of unease and tension that permeates the story. As Lucy's relationships with Teiji and Lily become increasingly complex and fraught, her already fragile mental state begins to deteriorate, and she is haunted by visions of a traumatic event from her past.
The film is notable for its moody, atmospheric cinematography and its use of flashbacks and dream sequences to heighten the sense of disorientation and uncertainty. Ultimately, the mystery of Lily's disappearance and Lucy's role in it is revealed in a dramatic and shocking climax that will leave viewers on edge.
