A short review for a short mockumentary, or is that mockumentary short? Most Dangerous Man Alive! is a quirky comedy short that follows a director (Nobuhiro Yamashita) as he tries to unite a detective and part-time gravy actor (Takashi Yamamoto) with a budding adult film star (Yoko Satomi) who just happens to like detectives. In case you are wondering what a gravy actor is, they are stand-ins whose only purpose is to shoot their ‘load’. The film follows the director as he meets with his two stars, begins filming, and deals with the mess that follows.
Although funny, it wasn’t quite what I was expecting after reading the premise. The humour is pulled directly from how pathetic Takashi Yamamoto’s character is, at both being a porn actor and life in general. The struggles the cast and crew have while dealing with the detective are funny at some moments, while at others are almost hard to watch. It reminds me vaguely of a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode minus Larry David’s genious.
That being said, the premise is hilarious, the film itself had me chuckling at places and overall it’s worth a watch if you enjoy mockumentaries or twisted film shorts. It is only 37 minutes long as well, so it’s not exactly a huge waste of time if you don’t like it otherwise.
Pues ya está aquí la gamberrada mayúscula que Nobuhiro Yamashuta ("Ramblers", Noah's Ark", "Linda, Linda, Linda") grabó en video con cuatro yens de presupuesto. Un corto de duración de casi 38 minutos que nos cuenta, en forma de falso-documental, el rodaje de una peli porno con un policía que haría buenas migas con nuestro Torrente y una actriz del género a la que le pone los detectives. Así de entrada todo parece indicar que la combinación es perfecta, pero como casi siempre en la obra de Yamashita, las cosas nunca van como se planean.
La estaremos compartiendo pazguaton, garitero y yo... con futuros subs en español a cargo de sensei garitero.
Os recomiendo bajar las expectativas a cero para poder disfrutar del corto. No pasará a la historia por su calidad.
