The Man Who Stole the Sun(???) (Box packing VCD) (Japan) (Hong Kong Version)

[IPMART]

As satirically relevant and comically disturbing now as it was in 1979, off-kilter black comedy The Man Who Stole the Sun outlandishly lampoons mankind’s most devastating creation:the atomic bomb. Love it or hate it, this controversial award-winning film is sure to elicit a reaction. The film was released in 1979 during the Cold War, when the threat of nuclear war hung over the world, and director Hasegawa Kazuhiko himself was born in Hiroshima in 1946, less than a year after the dropping of the atomic bomb. The Man Who Stole the Sun takes a very sensitive topic and gives it a comical, subversive spin with a darkly funny story about a bombmaking anti-hero. This classic film stars a young Sawada Kenji (Happiness of the Katakuris), a pop idol at the time, and yakuza film mainstay Sugawara Bunta.)
