THE MAN WHO STOLE THE SUN
15 March 2024 - 19h00
Taiyô wo nusunda otoko
Kazuhiko Hasegawa
JP, 1979, 35mm, VO JP ST FR & ENG OND, 147'
Hasegawa's influential masterpiece stars Kenji Sawada (aka pop singer "Julie") as a mild-mannered science teacher who builds an atom bomb in his flat and threatens to use it unless the Rolling Stones are allowed to play Tokyo. Bunta Sugawara (veteran of many a yakuza pic) is the cop on his tail. An unmissable cult item.
