Director Toyoda Toshiaki is scheduled to attendWe are honoured to present the North American premiere of the 8th film from internationally acclaimed director Toyoda Toshiaki, the creator of Blue Spring, 9 Souls and last year's Monster's Club. I'm Flash! is the story of a charismatic cult leader (Tatsuya Fujiwara - the star of Battle Royale and Death Note) at a turning point in his life. As leader of the “Life is Beautiful” religious group, Lui Yoshino is looking for an escape from his celebrity lifestyle. When he emerges unscathed from a car accident that leaves his companion in a coma and another man dead, that escape becomes a necessity. With the help of three bodyguards, Lui retreats to a remote island to avoid the fallout. Cutting between Lui's exile and the night of the accident, I'm Flash! depicts Lui as someone between a guru and a charlatan, a smooth-talking trickster who still might believe what he's saying. As the details of the night come into focus, Lui comes to a decision that will have profound consequences for everyone involved.
