Zebraman, from one of my favorite directors, Takashi Miike, is so incredibly wonderful.  This is the second film we saw this at the New York Asian Film Festival.  Basically, there is an elementary school teacher who escapes his everyday life by pretending to be a super hero from a failed 70's TV show, Zebraman.  He has even sewed himself and outfit and fashioned a helmet out of Styrofoam.  Somehow, he ends up actually having to save the world.

Takashi usually makes weirdo films, and this is no exception, except in this case, as one review pointed out, it is neither vulgar nor exploitive on any level.  It's a classy film the entire family can enjoy.  It's a ton of kooky fun.

Great reviews and film grabs here and here.
