Happy Days of Mr. M

19790.0 / 1020 min

Overview

Unidentified people appear around the protagonist, Mr. M. No matter how many times he wakes up, he cannot escape from his dream. In a speeding, deserted subway, Mr. M falls asleep again. This is Yamazaki's second work in his filmography. Reflecting on the fact that his first 8mm drama, "The Melancholy of Poplar Trees," was less than a school play, he decided to make this film to see how much he could do within his own field of expertise. He unashamedly quotes various films, including Masanobu Nakamura's "Autumn in Beijing". An interesting precursor to his works " Anti-Interpretation" "Memories of the Seaside," and "Ghosttown at Dawn". This filmwork won the Student Encouragement Award at the 1980 Fuji 8mm Contest.
