First screened in 2007, Hitoshi Matsumoto’s brilliant Big Man Japan makes a welcome return to Leeds for this year’s Planet Japan celebration; and don’t miss our first screening of Matsumoto’s sublime Symbol from 2009. What happens when a has-been superhero becomes a victim of stronger baddies and falling TV news ratings? Dai Sato’s days seem over. His special giant power is no longer a match for the new breed of bad or the harsh demands of modern viewers. When his cover is blown, Dai Sato is left exposed to society’s scorn. A delightfully inventive, hilarious and moving spoof on the superhero genre.
