SUMMARY:October Films at The Revue: The Great Sasuke
DESCRIPTION:The Great Sasuke\n2015\, Mikiko Sasaki\, 69 min. PG\nCanadian premiere- director present for intro and Q&A! \nAs the founder of Michinoku Pro-Wrestling\, the masked wrestler known as The Great Sasuke brought Mexican-style lucha libre to Japan in the 1990s and became an international star\, known as a showman with a flair for crazy ideas and dangerous moves. Mikiko Sasaki’s documentary finds Sasuke at a turning point in his career\, considering a return to politics (he once served as the first masked member of the Iwate Prefectural Diet) and dealing with the effects on his body of 20 years in the ring. A warm portrait of a true individualist\, The Great Sasuke also manages to touch on the challenges being married to a risk-taking athlete\, the aftermath of the 2011 tsunami in Tohoku\, and the travails of a local politician on the campaign trail\, offering an unconventional slice of life in Northern Japan. \nimage © Jonathan Schwarz\n\nMikiko Sasaki is a documentary filmmaker based in Oakland\, CA. She grew up in Morioka\, Iwate\, the same town The Great Sasuke is from. Her award winning short documentary\, Story of a Businesswoman\, screened at numerous film festivals around the country\, and was broadcast on MNET in 2011. She also works as a documentary and commercial editor in San Francisco Bay Area\, and is currently developing a few documentary projects. \n\nRegister for The Great Sasuke
