One of the most distinctive filmmakers in the world, Japan's Shinobu Yaguchi rose to international attention on the back of his comedies Swing Girls and Water Boys. His work is richly detailed stuff with complex, realistic characters with humor coming out of the situations rather than broad slapstick or unrealistic punchlines. And he's back to his old tricks with the upcoming Robo-G.
Tokyograph describes the film like this:
The story revolves around a team of three at a small electronics maker, who receive an order from the company president to develop a robot for the purpose of getting the company more exposure. However, one week before their planned announcement at a robotics expo, their robot gets destroyed, so in order to save face they decide to take the stage with an old man in a robot suit. Unexpectedly, their "robot" receives huge acclaim and fame.
The full theatrical trailer arrived at the end of October and somehow we missed it until now but it's solid, charming stuff so take a look below!
