If you loved R100, try Big Man Japan

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Hitoshi Matsumoto, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to R100, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Big Man Japan is

Here's a film with a fairly odd premise, it has to be said. A lonely superhero deals with bizarre monsters and many personal problems. At least he manages to defend Japan, even if no one seems to appreciate it.
