Caution, Hazardous Wife and Drive My Car star Hidetoshi Nishijima is set to rage this year with Tatsushi Omori’s latest, Goodbye Cruel World. We have a short teaser and new poster out and judging by the retro font on the ink, the shots and style of cinematography and Omori’s choice of soundtrack a la the soulful sounds of 70s singer Margie Joseph, you can definitely get an idea about some of his influences.
