The Honda Super Cub is Japan's most produced motor vehicle ever — over 100 million units. This film is basically a love letter to national infrastructure.
Director Atsushi Muroga was better known for violent yakuza films; this gentle comedy was such a departure that critics didn't know what to do with it.
