Country - Japan [2004]
It has been some time since I saw film that hooked you so completely from the first shot. There are 5 stories that loop in and touch each other at times. The purpose of the segments and actually the theme for the entire film has been given room for interpretation. Some audiences may find the comedy to be dark, but it has been done with clear vision and great aplomb.
A man who's wife beats him despite having been killed several times. A copywriter who gets brainwaves on advertising products. A hit man from Britain. A trio of jabbering miscreants & to tie it all up a man-chicken. The film, like the anime of Japan, continues to blast at the "limits" of creativity.
