REVOLUTION+1

Dangerous movie. Masao Adachi writes a fictional biopic for Shinzo Abe’s assassin about 2 months after he was shot, and releases it the day of Abe’s funeral. The fictional part of his story brings a lot of cohesion to his motivation, and is in its own way a relatable and gripping story about childhood trauma and loneliness. Finally watched this after the news that the Japanese government ordered for the dissolution of the Unification Church. The most successful assassin in history?  If you made a movie like this one month after a presidential assassination in America, you would probably be clobbered to death within hours.
