Suda Masaki Film Recommendation: Spark

The movie 'Spark' is based on the novel by comedian and author Naoki Matayoshi, which won the Akutagawa Prize and became a sensation. Tokunaga, played by Masaki Suda, is an unsuccessful comedian who one day meets his senior, Kamiya (played by Kenta Kiritani), and is drawn to his eccentric ideas and humanity, hoping to become his disciple. Kamiya asks Tokunaga to write his biography in exchange for accepting him as a disciple, thus beginning a decade-long friendship. Through the lives and hardships of comedians, the film depicts the gap between chasing dreams and harsh reality.
