Despite the absurdity of the comedy in this slight movie (about one woman's dream-come-true year as an interpreter in Japan and how it all goes horribly wrong), this is in fact a razor sharp look at a very real office culture in Japan and a bleak look at the place of foreigners (gaijin) in Japan's rigidly structured corporate world..and I understand it is based on a book about one woman's actual experience!
★★★★☆
