| Brief Description: | Irreverent, surreal, unpredictable, Morita's film pokes fun at contemporary Japanese ideals--educational achievement, high technology, urban gentility, in the story of a Japanese teenager who has everything money can buy--except grades. Family hires Yoshimoto, a poor but cantankerous college student, whose influence on the family is a combination of Godzilla, Karl Marx and a marine sergeant, waging class war on his natural enemies for the best possible incentive: profit. Japanese with English subtitles. |
