Shinboru (The Symbol) 2009 [Subbed]

Director: Hitoshi Matsumoto
Writers: Hitoshi Matsumoto and Mitsuyoshi Takasu
Genre: Comedy, Drama

There are not a lot of detials on this movie yet but here is a summery I found on IMDB

A Japanese man wakes up alone in a brightly illuminated white room with no windows or doors. When he presses a mysteriously phallic protuberance that appears on one wall, a pink toothbrush materializes from nowhere, clattering to the floor and setting in motion a genuinely bizarre chain of events. Soon the imprisoned man is engaged in absurd and hilarious attempts to escape the gleaming room, releasing random objects from the walls, creating a life sized mouse trap game in which a rope, a toilet plunger and an earthenware jug full of sushi might just be the keys to his escape. Meanwhile, in a dusty town, a green masked Mexican wrestler known as Escargot Man prepares for an important match. His family gathers around him, worried about his seeming impassivity before battle.

Lol remove the # :D I wrote them so you can see the tag :D

oh alright. There should be no need to change the tags within a [ code ] tag. Code will not render inside a [ code] tag.

Is there any information about the releasedate?

In japanese theatres on 12th September!

I’m back from watching [i:yydh6on5]Symbol[/i:yydh6on5] today at Toronto International Film Festival public screening. It’s very weird movie, really. There are mainly 3 moppy-haired Matsumoto’s parts. First part is where Macchan, in a colourful pajama, is trapped in a white room full of baby-pen!s-shaped switches for no reason. When he presses those switches, weird, totally unrelated stuffs drop into the room out of nowhere. This part is really funny. Macchan’s stupid plans trying to escape the room and his reactions when he repeatedly fails are comedic gold.

And the Estragot Man’s story (you know, the one that beat Dynamite Shikoku… eh… no, no, that is just the same name) leads audience to absolutely nowhere, until the second part of Macchan’s quest, which I’m not gonna spoil you guys.

Overall, it’s an enjoyable movie. And if you think he’s just another Beat Takeshi, you are wrong.

thanks for posting all the vids! Ive merged it with the existing thread for Shinboru

Thanks Homelessbrian =D
Yeah… I saw these trailers some time ago… and it finally click to my head to post them on here ^________^!!
I Really Can’t wait to see this Movie… it’s going to be Awesome… looks like the same kinda Fun movie that Survive Style 5+ was =D

Yea. I cannot wait! The reviews ive read all seem to praise it. I just hope its not as crazy as funky forest… That movie was just a little too off the wall for me.

Symbol was present at “Marrakech’s Cinema’s International Festival” and Matsumoto was there :D

I couldn’t go there, Marrakech is only 250 km far from my city :D I bet none of you have been so close to Matsumoto Hitoshi: 250km away only xD

I really wanna watch this movie. I hope it’ll be available online soon (with subs :P)

Does anyone have any news on this movie? I’m really looking forward to it, and can’t wait until it’s released so I can find a torrent somewhere.

His movie is selected for IFF Rotterdam, and as far as I know, he’s there too! If that’s true, I’m going to see him in real!

OMG YOU GUYS IT COMES OUT TOMORROW!!! I wish i had money to buy it cause i totally would.

the countdown begins!
