About the movie: year - 2011 / 2 hours 13 min. / Plot of the film “Cut”: Young director Shuji is a supporter of new trends in cinematography. He does not tolerate any compromises, so he cannot find a place for himself in Japanese society. It soon turns out that his moneylender brother, thanks to whose financial support Shuji made his films, turns out to be in debt to the yakuza. After the mafia has dealt with him, the entire debt falls on the shoulders of Shuji himself. He finds an alternative way of earning - he lets bandits beat him up for money in a local bar while he shouts the names of great directors and the titles of their films. This picture can be called a love poem to old Japanese cinema, a protest against the present and a study of the hero's film mania..
