Join the Japanese Language Program on the evening of November 17th as they watch 鍵泥棒 (かぎどろぼう)のメソッド ("Key of Life"), a Japanese comedy film from famed Japanese filmmaker Kenji Uchida. Struggling actor Sakurai is out of work and out of luck. When a mysterious man slips and falls at the bathhouse, Sakurai switches locker keys and identities with the man, who turns out to be a hitman named Kondo. His memory lost in the fall, Kondo begins piecing his' life as Sakurai back together with the help of Kanae, a young woman he meets in the hospital who is determined to find a husband. Meanwhile, Sakurai, posing as Kondo, incurs the wrath of ornery gangsters. As the truth about Kondo and Sakurai comes to light, they must scramble to resolve the chaos of this topsy-turvy chain of events.

Dr. Kimberly Hassel, a contemporary Japanese anthropology professor, will also give a 5-10 minute lecture about the movie at the beginning of the event.
