🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs a sharp satire of modern political machinery, relying on the clash between a novice's genuine approach and the cynical calculations of party strategists. It explores the inherent absurdity of campaign rituals through escalating comedic chaos.
What lingers after the credits is a playful skepticism toward polished political theater, paired with a surprising warmth for its unconventional characters. A refreshingly light touch on a heavy subject. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Yûichirô Sakashita
