The Apology King

A corporate apology specialist who has never failed. A man who can bow deeper, cry harder, and craft more sincere-sounding excuses than anyone in Tokyo. His latest assignment is his most impossible: to publicly atone for a client whose scandal has offended the entire nation. This 2013 Japanese comedy from director Hiroshi Shinagawa follows a master of remorse as his perfectly constructed world of staged sincerity begins to crack under the weight of a genuine mistake. A sharp, satirical look at public image, private guilt, and the performance of regret.
