About The Man Who Was Eaten
Yoshio Murata, a factory worker, was told that he would be eaten by aliens in a week due to the treaty "Earthling Man Eater System" made for global peace. His only question is, "Do I taste good?" From that day on, Murata begins making preparations by applying cream and wearing headgear so that the aliens can eat deliciously. A friend Kinoshita suddenly made at the same time, an ex-wife who always talks about money when she goes to see her separated daughter, and a friendly girl Yuki-chan.
Directed by Keisuke Kondô, The Man Who Was Eaten leans on a strong ensemble — Chikara Honda, Hitomichan, Shingo Kawaguchi — 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 screen titles of 2016.
