Hit Me Anyone One More Time(HKAFF 2019)

After four years away from filmmaking, popular playwright-writer-director Mitani Koki (Suite Dreams, A Ghost of a Chance) finally returns with another delightful ensemble comedy. After waking up in the hospital with no memory, Kuroda learns that not only is he the prime minister of Japan, but also that his historically low approval rating led to the attack that put him in the hospital. After dragging Kuroda back to office, his three secretaries scramble to keep Kuroda’s amnesia a secret from everyone – including Kuroda’s own wife. Influenced by classical Hollywood comedies, Mitani channels the spirit of Frank Capra with this hilarious political satire.
