Guys Who Never Learn

About This Movie

Guys Who Never Learn is one of those quirky gems from the late '80s that flies under the radar. The film, adapted from Joji Abe's book, centers on a man who's somehow found himself in prison for the twelfth time. It's a dive into the absurdity of his life choices, and while the direction is pretty much unknown, the performances carry a certain charm. The pacing leans into the comedic yet sometimes painfully relatable moments of self-destruction. The humor often feels like a mix of slapstick and dark comedy, making you chuckle while pondering the more serious themes of habit and redemption. Definitely stands out for its rawness and those practical effects that feel so authentic to that era.
