Synopsis
“We have been very discreet about the movie’s contents, not because we were confident of our work but because we wanted the audience to discover the film in the best conditions”. That is how Matsumoto explains the extreme secrecy surrounding the shooting of his first feature film as a director, a secrecy that proves totally justified after seeing the excellent results of this fantastic mockumentary, possibly the most original and bizarre of all those made to date. A cinematographic example of the genius and corrosive humor that have characterized the career of one of the most innovative comedians in Japan.

Critics' reviews

- "I hurt myself laughing at this amazingly inventive mockumentary, and because it's so good, I refuse to give away much more than an insistent recommendation."
