Dear KineJapanners,


The Foreign Correspondents' Club in Yurakucho will be screening Matsue
Tetsuaki’s new documentary, “DDT: We Are Japanese Wrestlers,” on Monday,
November 21. The event will feature one of codirector Muscle Sakai’s famed
PPT presentations, as well as a Q&A session. There are limited seats
available, so be sure you book early if you wish to go.


Since FCCJ is a private club, you must reserve your seats through
Screenings Curator Karen Severns: kjs30 at gol.com.


*FCCJ SNEAK PREVIEW SCREENING*

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21 at 7:00 pm

Followed by a Q&A with codirectors Tetsuaki Matsue and Muscle Sakai


*DDT: WE ARE JAPANESE WRESTLERS*

Japan, 2016   74 minutes   Japanese with English subtitles


Whether or not you’re a fan of professional wrestling — “puroresu” on these
shores — “DDT: We Are Japanese Wrestlers” offers an insightful slice of the
pummeling life. From its beginnings with the great Rikidozan and now
generating over $100 million a year, pro wrestling is very serious business
indeed. Thanks to the Dramatic Dream Team (DDT), it is also sometimes very
silly business, with matches that strike a perfect balance of the
hair-raising and the hilarious. The team’s astounding athleticism, creative
costuming and dazzling choreography have made it one of the top names in
indie wrestling, with ardent fans spanning the globe. Our screening will be
preceded by a live Power Point presentation (you read that right) by DDT
star Super Sasadango Machine, custom-created for his FCCJ appearance.
Co-directed by wrestler Muscle Sakai and acclaimed documentarian Tetsuaki
Matsue (“Live Tape,” “Flashback Memories 3D”), both of whom will be on hand
for the Q&A afterward, the film is a fittingly scruffy tribute to DDT’s
tough boys with soft underbellies, as they approach their 20th anniversary.
