J-Film: Bubble Fiction: Boom or Bust
May 21st, 2008, 6:30pm
When a brilliant female researcher accidentally turns a washing machine into a time machine, the Japanese government convinces her to go back in time to 1990 and prevent the announcement of a landmark fiscal policy that triggered the burst of Japan’s economic bubble. When the researcher disappears the government is stuck - the time machine will only work for someone with her DNA. They track down and send the researcher’s estranged daughter, Mayumi - a debt-ridden bar hostess. This satirical comedy takes a harsh look at Japanese bureaucracy, family values and the madness that engulfed the country during its “bubble era.”
