Fantasia 2020 Review: Special Actors is Another Triumphant Storytelling Feat from Shinichiro Ueda
Image
I may have been late to the party with One Cut of the Dead, but you can now count me as a huge fan of writer/director Shinichiro Ueda’s output after seeing his latest project, Special Actors, which is just as charming and delightful as his previous movie, just in a completely different way.

Film Review: Special Actors (2019) by Shinichiro Ueda

Shinichiro Ueda made history quite emphatically back in 2017 when his debut work “One Cut of the Dead” was released. The independent project with its cheap, off-the-wall filmmaking was made on a meagre $25,000 budget and opened in only 2 screens across Japan. By the time it finished its theatrical run, it had played in more than 250 screens nationwide, had earned more than a thousand times its budget in Japan alone and just as much internationally and had picked up several domestic and international awards along the way. It is, therefore, no surprise that his follow-up project “Special Actors” was looked forward to by fans with as much anticipation as skepticism, because to ask a director to follow a debut feature of such staggering success is a tall ask to begin with.
