Summer Time Machine Blues
An audience favourite when it screened at Leeds International Film Festival, Katsuyuki Motohiro’s Summer Time Machine Blues from 2005 is based on the novel by Tomihiko Morimi, who also wrote The Tatami Galaxy, and adapted by Makoto Ueda, the writer of recent cult hit Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes. To members of the college Sci-Fi Club, summer means hanging around in the clubhouse with the air-con blasting. When the last air-con remote breaks, the full heat of summer hits. The next day, after encountering a mysterious student, they discover an incredible new addition to their clubhouse - a working time machine! Now they can return to before the air-con remote broke and cool down again. If only it were that simple…
'Katsuyuki Motohiro’s comedy goes at a frenetic pace, it’s wildly inventive and impossible not to enjoy.' – Rob Aldam, Backseat Mafia
