Pacific Arts Movement's March Quarterly Screening: THERMAE ROMAE March 12, 2013

THERMAE ROMAE:

Times are tough for Lucius, an architect in ancient Rome. During a trip to one of Rome’s legendary bathhouses, Lucius is magically transported to another bathhouse — in modern Japan! For Lucius, things in the land of Super Toilets and onsens are indeed strange, to say the least. But that doesn’t stop Lucius from stealing some modern ideas and bringing them back to Rome, where fortune awaits. Sight gags are aplenty in this time-travel comedy, as are sights of superstar Hiroshi Abe (STILL WALKING) transcending race, time, culture, and language with his beautiful hunky self.
