We Make Antiques!

Watch Trailer
2018 · 105 min Comedy Crime
7.7 / 10 · TMDB

Norio, a Sakai antique dealer, and Sasuke, a local potter, navigate their quiet lives in the city famed for its blades. Their mundane existence is spectacularly upended by the sudden appearance of Sen no Rikyu, the revered 17th-century tea master. This ghost from the past, materializing in modern Japan, drags the unlikely duo into a whirlwind of comedic misadventures where the authenticity of an artifact matters far less than the art of a convincing tall tale. A farcical mystery unfolds against the backdrop of narrow streets and traditional workshops, where every generation leaves its mark.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film deftly walks the line between absurd farce and warm human comedy, using a historical figure as a catalyst to explore friendship, ambition, and local color.

What lingers after the credits is the charm of its quirky, grounded characters navigating an increasingly ridiculous plot. A delightful, low-stakes caper that feels like a breezy walk through a very particular Japan — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Masaharu Take

Sun-dappled alleyways, the patina of old things, and the cheerful chaos of comic misadventure.
