Japan, 1993, 92 minutes

Intrepid Japanese detective Maiku Hama is on the case in this adventure. Hama is suave, macho, and cold but he is a total klutz. His attempts at machismo always fall flat. When he's out on a case he spends more time getting beaten up than he does solving the case.

Kaizô Hayashi deserves to be discussed when it comes to conversations surrounding the greatest Japanese directors of all time and this year’s festival closing film, The Most Terrible Time in My Life is a great example as to why. A dark film-noir thriller with an incredible cast, this stunning, stylish and suspenseful piece of filmmaking is a must watch on the big screen and GASP! are very proud to be presenting the restoration premiere of this hidden gem that has never been available in the UK until this screening.
