This warm-hearted farce places four Japanese businessmen seeking a contract to build a bridge in a politically unstable Southeast Asian country. When rebel forces take up arms, no target is safe from the biting wit of director Takita who has continuously lampooned Japanese society and customs throughout his film career. Made in Japan entertainingly skewers the yin and yang of JapanÕs corporate warriors. In exposing his protagonists, he not only reveals the excesses of their corporate-based culture, but also allows their humanity to poke through. Directed by Yojiro Takita. With Henry Sanada, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Ittoku Kishibe.
