"Antkind" Yoshihiko Kihara / Charlie Kaufman Price: ¥15,400 Only read once, in excellent condition. A prediction of Trump's revival & rampage!? Delving into the mystery of the "ultimate film" with a 90-year production period and a 90-day screening time, and into the depths of memory... A bizarre and dangerous <reading cult film>! Kaufman, the Academy Award-winning genius writer of "Being John Malkovich" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," finally makes his novel debut in Japan. ◎ Recommended Comments With an abnormal love for cinema and nostalgic postmodern verbose thinking, it scans the <now> of the United States of America. A strange and grand journey. Kyo Sato You did it, Kaufman! Super crazy and totally cool!! My brain is bugging out and about to ascend in the flood of absurdity!! Isn't this a problem if it's released to the world?! Ryo Fukawa The misery, sadness, and patheticness of people living in the world. And a feeling stronger than love for the art of film. Only Charlie Kaufman could make it into such a bizarre story. The amount of information and gags in the story are a more compressed version than his films! Madoka Yamazaki A unique and bold masterpiece that will change your view of life. Recommended for all those who are lost and have illusions and contradictions about "life." Francis Ford Coppola ◎ Synopsis B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, a lackluster film critic, watches a 90-day film made by Ingo, a recluse, over 90 years. He is convinced it is an unprecedented masterpiece, but Ingo dies suddenly during the screening, and the film is also lost in a fire. Rosenberg, who is trying to restore the lost film through hypnotherapy, is visited by Abisa, a woman who claims to be from the future, along with a request and the image technology "Brainio." With Brainio, he can enter the "invisible world" behind the film, and the boundaries between dreams, films, and reality gradually begin to collapse. Eventually, an autonomous Donald Tr*mp (Pu) robot appears, overcomes an assassination attempt, and seizes power. After mass proliferation and rampage, it starts a huge fast-food chain and a civil war, leading to the end-of-the-world war. Even a super-genius ant who survived on the future Earth appears, and everything heads towards the extreme of chaos..."
