Nezu no Ban

Post by BiscLimpkit »

Has anyone seen Nezu no Ban?

The premise sounds interesting.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might feel bad about it all later! A traditional Japanese storyteller/rakugo star is on his deathbed . . . and his final words are "I want to see so%@$"! However, they seem to mistake the real "so%@$" for a certain part of the female anatomy!?!? His family sets the master out to wake, and uses their own skill in the Japanese arts to kick off . . . a party of missunderstanding? Amongst hillarious happenings the family discovers the bonds of friendship and family, making this one of the most entertaining films for adults ever! Includes English subtitles.
I quite fancy seeing a woman's so%@$"!

DVDtimes review up. Dunno if you'd be blown away by it Bisc, the humour is pretty old-fashioned so it can be a bit slow in places to foreign viewers. I was lucky enough to have already had a crash course in Rakugo before I'd seen the film (Thanks to Tiger & Dragon), so I could appreciate some of the in-jokes, but most flew waaay past me tbh :D. It is a good film though, and the ending is great fun (a dirty song competition between Kiichi Nakai and Masaaki Sakai.).
