The Legend of the Stardust Brothers

The rivalrous frontmen for two scuffling bands-punk Shingo (Shingo Kubota) and new-waver Kan (Kanzuhiro Takagi)-get plucked from obscurity by record company mogul Atomic Minami (Kiyohiko Ozaki) to be packaged as a pretty-boy pop duo. With passed-over singer Marimo (Kyoko Togawa) recruited as their first rabid fan, their meteoric rise and fall is chronicled in this glitzy and infectious cult item; Issay also stars. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English; "making of" featurette; interview; theatrical trailers. In Japanese with English subtitles.
