About The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai
Sachiko Hanai is a call girl. One day she is caught up in a gunfight and is shot in the forehead. Instead of killing her, the bullet in her head gives her psychic powers. She also accidentally comes into possession of a cylinder containing George W. Bush's finger, whose fingerprint is designed to launch a nuclear missile, and international spies are soon chasing her.
Directed by Mitsuru Meike, The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai leans on a strong ensemble — Emi Kuroda, Yukijiro Hotaru, Kikujiro Honda — 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 fantasy titles of 2003.
