COURT OF ZEUS (Zeus no Hotei)

Japan, 2013   136 min.  In Japanese with English subtitles

Japan’s cinematic crusader for truth and transparency, Gen Takahashi,
returns to FCCJ with another bold exposé, this time revealing the pervasive
corruption in Japan’s legal system. Not quite as intense as his acclaimed
“Confessions of a Dog” (2006), which depicted shockingly illicit activities
by the police (“the largest organized crime ring in Japan,” according to
the director), this new film wraps its condemnations around a love story
between an overworked young judge and his fiancée, who suddenly finds
herself on the wrong side of the law… and in her lover’s courtroom, where
he presides like the mighty Zeus.
