Scriptwriter&nbsp\;<strong>Shoichi Maruyama</strong>&nbsp\;became an overnight sensation for his unique mix of the surreal and hard-boiled rea lism. Haruki Kadokawa used the film to embark on a new kind of small-scale blockbuster that emphasized artistic freedom. Though based on a bestselle r by&nbsp\;<strong>Haruhiko Oyabu</strong>\, Kadokawa told Maruyama: "All I want is the novel's title and your modern sensibility." Foreshadowing th e self-reflexive play of Japan's bubble era\, the film tackles the insecur ities of an increasingly international Japan.&nbsp\;<strong>New 4k restora tion</strong>!&nbsp\;\n<em>1980\, 119 min.\, DCP\, color\, in Japanese wit h live English subtitles.
