Monday (2000 film)

Monday is a 2000 Japanese comedy thriller drama film directed by Sabu.

"[1] Takagi (Shinichi Tsutsumi), a seemingly average Japanese businessman, wakes up in a hotel room but doesn't know how he wound up there.

When a packet of "purification salt" falls out of his pocket, he starts having memories of a funeral and a meeting with a yakuza boss.

The New York Times found that "'Monday' has some of Sabu’s sharpest satire" and "offers a lot of stylish parody as it tracks the increasingly grim trajectory of the salaryman’s lost weekend.

"[2] Derek Elley in Variety wrote that "Sabu makes a stunning return to form with "Monday," his fourth and best movie to date.
