Koki MITANI 三谷幸喜
Hit Me Anyone One More Time
Nippon Cinema ª
After a blow to the head, Japan’s unpopular prime minister does not remember who he is. Chased by political opponents, the clueless statesman uses unorthodox leadership to turn around his low approval ratings. Koki MITANI’s political satire celebrates the idealistic vision of a populist statesman and criticizes the power games behind closed doors.
