Audience Member A big letdown after the amazing "Symbol". It was unfunny and way too slow but the interesting setup and creative storytelling made up for some of the problems. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The film starts out of nowhere and gradually gains interest and then the story suddenly dies. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Another strange Matsumoto movie. I feel enhanced for having seen it, but couldn't tell you why really. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this at a screening in Los Angeles, and it blew me away. The pathos of a Chaplin film, and the comedy of a true absurdist. It's touching, sweet, and sad. Really a masterpiece that should be more available to potential audiences. But the only place it's being sold is in Germany on DVD with German subtitles. That's it. If you can track it down, I highly recommend you do so. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Um samurai perdeu a coragem e acabou sendo sentenciado a cometer suicídio. Em 30 dias ele terá a oportunidade de tentar fazer o filho do imperador sorrir. Se conseguir, é liberado da pena. A tarefa se mostra extremamente difícil já que o pobre samurai não tem ideias e o garoto é traumatizado pela morte da mãe. As primeiras performances são terríveis, mas aos poucos vai melhorando. O filme constrói expectativas com maestria. Trata-se de um comentário profundo sobre o entretenimento vindo de um diretor que começou a carreira como humorista de televisão.
