[edit] Plot
Kitano plays a hapless film director in search of a commercial hit, while suffering failure after failure as he tries out different genres.
The comedy, presented as an "ultra variety movie"[2], crosses a broad range of genres common to Japanese film, in a similar fashion to Kitano's 1995 parody Getting Any?. Kitano described the film as "a cinematic extension of [his] manzai comedy routines that continues in much the same vein as [his] last feature." [3]
