FIFTY/FEWER: I Just Didn't Do It (Masayuki Suo, 2007)

10 October 2007

Ryo Kase follows up Letters from Iwo Jima with an exceptional performance here as an accused man engulfed by Japan’s endless courtroom procedure. Suo’s film is itself a unencumbered look at the country’s flawed system—so aggressive that legal drama naturally mixes with Kafka and Beckett. Nice composition throughout.
