By Glenny Brock
The UAB Foreign Film Series continues tonight with a screening of Who’s Camus Anyway? Directed by Mitsuo\’a0Yanagimachi, the 2005 film is set on the campus of a university in Tokyo. Students from the literature department’s “film workshop” are about to start shooting their movie The Bored Murderer. Everyone is in a rush to prepare for the shoot, but the lead actor drops out suddenly, and the team is forced to search for a replacement at the last minute. Matsukawa, the director, and Hisada, the first assistant, and other members of the team have their own personal problems with life and love, and the story unfolds “just like in the movies”. In Japanese with English subtitles.\
