A relaxing film that not only entertains, but boasts some beautiful shots of the Japanese countryside, and not the typically known one, either – as it's not full of rice paddies, but tall trees. I enjoyed it, there was no pathetic bullshit, the acting was excellent (especially Sometani, the guy is so ordinary that it's a joy to watch him and enjoy that he can act). As is usually the case with the Japanese, this is not purely a comedy, but the story also shows the viewer life in a Japanese village, the traditions and the still different mindset and values from the people in the city. As they say: it has reach. The film made a beautifully coherent impression on me when the viewer really sees the change in Hiran (not to mention that this change was expressed very well in how the camera was shot). A nice film about an insanely proud prince. A strong 4 stars.

There’s nothing better than watching a Japanese movie from time to time. I wonder whether I’ve ever seen a Japanese comedy before. Well, Wood Jobis a comedy, and definitely not an ordinary one. It tells a story of a group of lumberjacks, who present quite a powerful and unforgettable experience for every ordinary Japanese person who runs into them. In any case, just as other nations can, the Japanese were able to shoot a pleasant comedy story with a classic storyline and a positive mood. But what was much less classic was the ending or the character of the alpha male lumberjack, which does not even fit into Japanese culture as such. But I liked him very much. So if you’re thinking about watching this movie, don’t forget to respect the forest or that guy will end you!
