Monday

Monday (マンデイ, 2000) is a Japanese crime thriller by director Sabu — watch online on iFILM. A young man in a black suit wakes up in a hotel room with no memory of the day before. A bag of purification salt falls out of his pocket: in Japan, people carry it home from funerals to keep the bad with the dead.

Fragments surface. A burial. A breakup. A bar. A yakuza boss and his girlfriend. A gun, and four people on the floor. Sabu — whose earlier work includes Postman Blues and Drive — builds his film like a dark-comedy puzzle where the last piece lands right when it stops being funny. Watch Monday (2000) online on iFILM.
