- Summary:
- On his thirtieth birthday a mild-mannered bank clerk wakes in his apartment in the suburbs of Tokyo to discover two men in his room, who tell him he is under arrest ... The film sets Kafka's novel in present day Tokyo and uses it as a metaphor for the recent mood of self-restraint and self-censorship in Japanese society. It is also a comment on the creeping suppression of dissent and divergent opinion in Japan right now.
