Not that I want to put pressure on the guy or anything but with his previous film - Adrift In Tokyo - all of the promise that lay latent in Miki Satoshi's earlier works finally came together just perfectly, then end result being what is, in my very vocal opinion, a true masterpiece. So what does the guy do next? How to follow Adrift? With Instant Numa, another gently absurd comedy about a downsized office worker taking over an antique / junk shop with the help of a young punk rocker. The cast in this is stellar - Kumiko Aso and Ryo Kase play the leads - and the stroy seems like vintage Miki. How will it all come together? Check the trailer below the break for your first indication.
I wish life were like a Miki Satoshi film...
Oh. Cool. This is where American films were in the 90s.
