Eburi is a 36 year-old man. Nothing enthuses him any more. While being drunk, he promises to contribute a story to a magazine. When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。闊別大銀幕14年，大長今李英愛強勢回歸，飾演一位瀕臨崩潰邊緣的母親，誓要尋回被擄走的兒子。兒子失蹤6年，赫然傳來疑是孩子下落的消息，母親決定隻身走到漁村，希望找出一個被黑道家族控制的小孩，查看他是否失散多年的兒子。奈何冷血的惡人想把孩子留下當生財工具，將她拒諸於門外。母親唯有在雷雨交加的晚上，以極端手段再闖虎穴。首次執導的金勝友，營造張力到家，描繪由心而發的暴力，教人觸目驚心。从早年的《循环自杀》《纪子的餐桌》《神秘马戏团》，再到近些年的《冰冷热带鱼》《恋之罪》《爱的曝光》，乃至2015年的《新宿天鹅》《爱与和平》《真实魔鬼游戏》和《我们都是超能者！》，绝不按常理出牌的鬼才导演园子温以其特有的方式向时代发出犀利的拷问和挑衅。年过半百，反骨依旧，在cult界大行其道的园导高歌猛进。伴随着《爱的曝光》和《冰冷热带鱼》的走红，他的“恶名”早已传播海外，其本人也成为国际电影节上的常客。在此期间，他和自己作品中的缪斯神乐坂惠走到一起。电影之外，他游走于小说、绘画、音乐等不同艺术领域，颇有建树。 本片导演大岛新曾担任《情热大陆》“园子温篇”的导演，对于这位鬼才电影人，20多分钟的短片远远无法窥尽他的所有魅力一面，于是便有了这部近距离审视园子温的纪录片。。
