[KineJapan] Adachi Masao's new film

[Markus Nornes]

I saw Adachi days after the incident, which he insisted was "murder" not
"assassination." He was already deep into the script
and preproduction tasks like lining up staff. He was giddy, especially
because he had lined up some amount of the budget as well and the plan was
to release it the day of the state funeral, which had just been announced.
To this end, his other idea was to skip (or more like "screw" in the spirit
of things) the usual distribution routes like mini-theaters and instead
show the film in clubs (thus, the Loft connection). Ueno Toshiya happened
to be at this gathering; needless to say, they had a lot to talk about.

As you can imagine, this is his sequel to *Aka Serial Killer.*
