“What does it mean to be an actor?”
Drafted to shoot a new film, Tadashi Kobayashi, a director with festival marketability, is strong-armed by the studio into hiring two famous actresses as leads. The cast of self-unaware weirdos that constitute the budding players become increasingly overwhelmed and emboldened until they stage their own micro-revolution.
A charmingly meta look at the chaotic, often absurd, process of bringing a film to life. It’s a wry, observational piece that finds humor and humanity in the messy, unpredictable world of filmmaking. Feels like eavesdropping on a set.
