Mandei (2000)

Mandei (2000). Mandei: Directed by SABU. With Shin'ichi Tsutsumi, Yasuko Matsuyuki, Ren Ôsugi, Masanobu Andô. A simple funeral turns a man's world topsy turvy.

“Monday is an existentialist movie. For those who are comparing it to Tarantino, please stop reviewing movies. This is more like an anti-Tarantino movie, if it is anything. It questions the use of law. It questions the use of weapons. It questions alcohol. It questions justice versus moral. It questions things that went over my head as well. Does that sound like a Tarantino movie? No, not at all. Please give Sabu the right to call this his own movie, and let this compare-everything-with-Tarantino-nonsense slip away. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIts about a person waking up in a hotel room, not remembering who he is or how he got there. Gradually he remembers more and more, and it kind of goes way over-the-top, but in a way that is both funny and thought provoking. It also has quite a surreal laugh-at-life quality in some scenes that should be mentioned. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIts kind of an intelligent action movie. Let there be more of these!”
