SIFF day four

[ironymaiden]

i adored Key of Life. it's probably my favorite so far - a down on his luck actor switches identities with a man who suffers a knockout fall at the bathhouse, meanwhile a career woman who is looking for the perfect husband crosses their path. mayhem ensues.

i thought it was going to be about the (tiresome) actor, but the shining heart of the film is the other guy trying to live the actor's life. it's delightful, especially because it doesn't rely on embarassment for its humor and has several plot twists. very funny to me, and the Japanese folks all around me at the screening were definitely digging it.

i'm sorry i saw the last showing because it was such a pleasure. recommended.
