Synopsis

Our take
Honoring the tradition of Japanese TV superheroes, cult director Takashi Miike brought his madcap vision to the genre with the family-friendly Zebraman. Filled with striking images and charmingly gaudy CGI, the film strides the line between spoof and action, resulting in an imaginative adventure.
