Absurd comedy. The store is a big player in Japan and forms the center of this collection of short stories, though some are only tangentially related. I assume the film is linked to the company, but this is by no means a blatant promotional video. The comedy is pretty bonkers, often at the expense of Parco.

I appreciate this type of comedy. It's unpredictable, kooky and deadpan. Not every joke is a hit, but there are few misses, and the anthology setup keeps things fresh. The cast does a good job too, it's just a shame that the cinematography is a tad murky. With some extra visual polish, this could've been a personal favorite.
