407: Giants and Toys a.k.a Kyojin to gangu [1958] Movie Discussion

What shall we have from Japan this time; those crazy, weird and wonderful bunch? What about a beautiful anime? Or a chilling horror film? Or maybe a big, stupid monster movie? I know, what about a satirical drama about the caramel business?! So yeah, we’re going a little out of the box this time with Giants and Toys, a film about post-war Japanese capitalism and manufactured fame, but we’re glad to inform you it’s a little ahead of it’s time for a 1950’s movie and there’s plenty to talk about like: rotten-toothed fashion models, giving away small animals with your confectioneries and the endless cycle of stress-induced ulcers of Japanese businessmen.
