Viewing Notes
Love these kinds of JP films, a period piece with modern flourishes especially for comedies where that mix of styles works best. It delights me to see Aoi Miyazaki again; I’m happy she’s still working in front of the camera.
Huge cast with more half not listed in TMDb. Neat to see Ryûnosuke Kamiki lead another film after Godzilla Minus One and a film so different. He has some good comedy chops. I’m not gonna get used to Tadanobu Asano back in supporting roles.
