A Great Day (film)

A Great Day is a 1996 short film directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. It stars Tsuyoshi Ujiki and Show Aikawa. The film is a dark comedy centering around a yakuza boss who suffers from severe amnesia. After regaining consciousness in a dilapidated building, he is unable to recall his identity or any details of his life. The film follows his bizarre and often violent attempts to piece together his past, complicated by his reliance on a series of unreliable and often conflicting clues. The film explores themes of identity, memory, and the absurdity of violence. Despite being a short film, it is notable for Kurosawa's signature style, including long takes, unsettling atmosphere, and moments of deadpan humor.
