From WATERBOYS To SWING GIRLS to HAPPY FLIGHT! The Teaser For Yaguchi's Latest Is In The Air ...

Yes, Kevin over at Nippon Cinema - always worth a read - has been covering this one for a while but in the lead up to the madness that is the Toronto International Film Festival I just didn't have the chance to check out the latest from the director of Swing Girls and Waterboys until now. As with those two films the latest from Shinobu Yaguchi looks to be a clever, sophisticated comedy though this time his protagonists have aged a little: Yaguchi has graduated from high school and this time focuses on the world of airline attendants which certainly seems like fertile ground for a mind like Yaguchi's.

The first teaser was little more than an announcement that the film existed but the latest spot is much more substantive and looks to be a very good time. Check it out in the Twitch Player below the break.

There was a TV show in Japan that had the same sort of premise. It was called "Good Luck!" and it was mighty awesome. Is this based on that series?

My Secret Cache is still his best film IMO.
