> The issue this time is the plan by Prime Minister #ShinzoAbe to alter a key provision of Japan’s peace constitution to allow Japan’s “Self Defense Forces” to take part in overseas military operations for the first time since World War II... who is this prime minister who has won the trust of the #ObamaAdministration while earning the enmity of the growing majority of its own citizens?

saw the final version of Revolution +1 this morning, themes and visual approach are the same, but it's better than the previous one, with a perfect soundtrack by Ōtomo Yoshihide, and a beautiful ending (inspired, my guess, like other Adachi's films, by Auguste Blanqui's writings).
The end credits were in Japanese and English (subtitles by Julian Ross), so maybe will see it at some international film festivals...Berlin perhaps?
