| Brief Description: | A genuine original, The Man Who Stole the Sun veers between suspense and satire, moving from the unexpected to the outrageous. A high school science teacher (Kenji Sawada) builds his own atomic bomb and makes several demands of the government. He insists they no longer preempt baseball games for other programming and demands that The Rolling Stones be allowed to play concerts in Japan (the band having been banned for drug use). A weary police detective tries to take control of this most unusual crisis. In Japanese with English subtitles. |
