Uchino Seiyo, Japan 2024, 120mins, subtitled THE JAPAN FOUNDATION TOURING FILM PROGRAMME 2026
A fun comedy caper from the director of One Cut of the Dead. Jiro
(Uchino Seiyo) is a straight-laced tax office employee who falls victim to a
clever scam from con artist Makoto (Okada Masaki), losing a fortune.
Confronting the con artist, he’s presented with an alternative plan: if Jiro
can help him to con a crooked real estate tycoon who’s been evading billions in
tax (and who Jiro’s office have been trying unsuccessfully to catch), then
he’ll get his money returned. Despite his scruples as an upright public
servant, he agrees, and together they assemble a team of colourful misfits to
launch a bold mission to reclaim the hidden fortune…We have been sent a number of promotional items that we will
be giving away in a draw to paid attendees of the films once the tour
concludes. These are:
1) Lipsticks from Suqqu
2) Skincare products from Athletia
3) Selection of pens from Pentel
