Katsu, a 60 year-old lumberjack, lives in a small, tranquil village in the mountains. When a film crew suddenly arrives to shoot a zombie movie, Katsu finds himself unwittingly roped into assisting the production and is increasing frustrated by the pushy crew, especially the young, seemingly spineless director Koichi. However, an improbable friendship soon develops between Katsu and Koichi, as Katsu comes to see joy in the filmmaking process, and gradually helps Koichi to recover his sense of self.
Koji Yakusho (Cure, 13 Assassins) is back in a very feel-good type of movie. The cinematography is very soothing, due to being shot in the beautiful Japanese countryside which I haven't seen so much of in other movies so this was definitely interesting.
Genre: Drama
