Astoundingly ambitious, veering seamlessly between documentary, comedy, road movie, action/gangster film, with hints of political drama, even throwing in a bit of magic. Beautifully and creatively shot, with an original and atmospheric soundtrack. Should be a major cult classic at the least, but I don't think there's even been a DVD release outside of Japan.
