Wood Job!

A city boy just out of high-school ends up working for a year out in the woods with a lumber company, living in a village with no convenience stores and—we hope you can believe this because he doesn’t—no cell-phone service! Wrapped inside this classic screwball comedy is a tale of growing up, of learning respect for yourself, for others, and for the continuities of tradition, with a cast of memorable characters all coming together in a thrilling slapstick sequence that you’ll never see coming. After making WATERBOYS and SWING GIRLS, Shinobu Yaguchi turns his camera on modern-day lumberjacks in WOOD JOB!, from the best-selling novel by Shion Miura.
