Fish Story (Fisshu sutori)
Dir: Yoshihiro Nakamura

An interesting idea but the story is only connected by a real stretch. I didn't find it particularly funny either, I'm a big fan of Japanese films, particularly comedies but I didn't get the humour here and I don't think it's down to poor translation or cultural differences. The idea is cool, on paper it looks like the coolest story ever written but it just doesn't work well as a film. The conclusion isn't worth watching for, I did like the scenes with the band towards the end but for a 'Bonkers' film, it's pretty boring most of the time.
