About 240 Hours in One Day
Commissioned for the 1970 Osaka Expo and originally shown on a four projection system at the spherical Automobile Pavilion. Set in a near future, the story follows a scientist and his assistant who invents an experimental accelerator drug that makes human activity run ten times faster, thereby expanding a single day into 10 days.
Directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara, 240 Hours in One Day leans on a strong ensemble — Tadashi Fukuro, Senko Ran — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1970.
