CINEMA! | Dir: Matsumoto Hitoshi | | Japan | 2007 | Colour | 113 min | English subtitles | | Cast: Matsumoto Hitoshi, UA, Takeuchi Riki | Daisato, a middle-aged loser and subject of a "documentary", is the fifth generation of a superhero family desperately trying to hold on to the dying art of super-heroics. The film is a deadpan throwback to giant superhero of old, with Daisato struggling to win over the masses in the age of Gross National Cool. Popular comedian Mastumoto directs himself in a hilarious performance that touches on Japan's relationship with its own culture. Look for pop diva UA in a small role. 2007 Cannes Film Festival Director's Fortnight' http://www.dainipponjin.com
