This is indeed a cult movie. Miki stole money from the Yakuza (Japanese mob) and is hiding out in a remote location known only to his loose lipped travel agent. Soon other people show up. They are being peeped on by two seasoned peeping Toms, Captain Banana and Okita. Eventually there will be 8 people in the room with many showing up late in the film. These include Kana, Miki's ex-gf who wants money, her geeky fiancee, Miki's brother who also works for the Yakuza and a paid assassin.
The characters are introduced in the beginning by a 10 minute animated segment. The strength of the film is the dialogue, which means an English version would be more entertaining to an English speaking audience. Actually this would be a great film for the Brits to redo. The quirky conversations concern hairdos, lying, using the word "really" , cameras, suits, and peeping. It seems most of the characters are liars or BS artists. They are in a hotel room run by an expected dysfunctional staff.
Enjoyable cult style dark comedy film.
Parental Guide: Infrequent F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Akemi Kobayashi shows off her belly button during the film, but is never dressed like she is depicted on the cover.
