well worth a look, though what you will make of it I cannot say.

Of all the questions this film raises, like: Why make it? Is it funny? I can't help wondering wondering why the title? Surely, 'Live Sushi' or Sushi - Its Alive' would be more appropriate, but no matter. Maybe like much of the film it is lost in translation. However no matter how silly, not quite as funny as the makers believe and over the top it is, it is something more than a little different. It is also very well made. The acting may not be of the highest calibre but it is not embarrassing and the film keeps moving, amazingly it zings by and does not, seem overlong, as I had feared it might. There are absolutely amazingly surreal moments with sushi flying everywhere and biting and causing massive tears in flesh and gushing geysers of blood. I did not find it hilarious but I did smile and the obvious dedication of all involved was infectious. No sacred cow was sacred to this lot either, from salary men and office progression to the way sushi is prepared and eaten - all is ridiculed mercilessly. Is the best way to eat sushi off the bare flesh of a bikini clad young lady? Probably not but it looked OK until it started to burrow! This, then is one of the quirkiest of the many quirky Japanese films I have seen and despite everything, well worth a look, though what you will make of it I cannot say.

Over the top craziness from Japan

So the plot. A daughter of a Sushi Chef runs away from home to be a hostess at an inn. While serving a particularly obnoxious group of Corporate Guests, Sushi is brought back to life by a vengeful vagrant.

Everything is sight gags and the characters are such over the top caricatures that you really can't do anything but laugh at the kills in this movie. I am sure some of the humor is cultural, which is probably lost on me as a member of a western audience.
