Tokyo Cabbage Man K (1980)

Directed by Akira Ogata, this surreal Japanese cult classic is a DIY punk odyssey shot on Super 8, blending absurd humor with biting social satire. The story follows K, a man who wakes up to find his head transformed into a giant cabbage—a Kafkaesque twist that spirals into a media circus, voyeuristic obsession, and existential absurdity. Equal parts avant-garde chaos and underground rebellion, the film stands as a defining artifact of Japan’s jishu movement, celebrated for its raw energy, experimental edge, and anarchic spirit.
