YesAsia Editorial Description
As satirically relevant and comically disturbing now as it was in 1979, off-kilter black comedy The Man Who Stole the Sun outlandishly lampoons mankind's most devastating creation: the atomic bomb. Love it or hate it, this controversial award-winning film is sure to elicit a reaction. The film was released in 1979 during the Cold War, when the threat of nuclear war hung over the world, and director Hasegawa Kazuhiko himself was born in Hiroshima in 1946, less than a year after the dropping of the atomic bomb. The Man Who Stole the Sun takes a very sensitive topic and gives it a comical, subversive spin with a darkly funny story about a bombmaking anti-hero. This classic film stars a young Sawada Kenji (Happiness of the Katakuris), a pop idol at the time, and yakuza film mainstay Sugawara Bunta.
High school science teacher Makoto (Sawada Kenji) is an odd lonely fellow who is often mocked by his students, and spends a lot of time playing with his cat. In the refuge of his cluttered apartment, he has been quietly brewing over a plan to construct an atomic bomb. After surviving a bus hijacking, the emboldened Makoto steals plutonium from the local plant, and begins the tediously precise process of building his beloved bomb. He gleefully uses the bomb to blackmail the authorities for inane things like airing baseball games without commercial interruption, but soon finds he isn't quite sure what to do with it. Hot on his trail is detective Yamashita (Sugawara Bunta), who is in a race against time to locate Makoto and the bomb.
