選舉 The Campaign (120分鐘)
(想田和弘/日本/2007)
40歲的山口過著平靜的單調生活,直到自民黨意外地推舉他參選川崎市議員。山口從來沒有參與過政治活動,沒有領導能力、贊助者、更沒有人擁護他,甚至沒有時間準備即將到來的選舉。這部影片深入了這個運作「日式民主」的歐吉桑團體,並敘述山口是如何地被他們洗腦。

(Kazuhiro Soda / Japan / 2007)
Forty-year-old "Yama-san" Yamauchi leads a peaceful, humdrum life until Japan's politically dominant Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) suddenly chooses him as its official candidate to run for a vacant seat on the Kawasaki city council. Yama-san had zero experience in politics, no charisma, no supporters, no constituency, and no time to prepare for the impending election. The film goes deep inside the old-boy club that runs Japanese-style “democracy,” and how Yama-san is indoctrinated into their ranks.
