It's the 2012 election for the governorship of Osaka. This documentary shows us some of the usual routine: well-known professional politicians backed by the influential and established parties, leading their campaigns. But among them we see candidates like eccentric “Mac” Akasaka, who has no chance of winning. Is it possible that we can still learn something about politics from him?

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
