シコふんじゃった。

本気で笑いました。卒業するための単位と引き換えに、廃部寸前の相撲部に入ることになった大学生の話です。個々の登場人物のキャラクター設定や、絶妙な台詞の言い回し(しかもみんな淡々と話します)など、とにかく本当に面白い！
「お尻を公衆の面前にさらす必要性が全く感じられない」と、まわしの下にスパッツを履く外国人留学生や、好きな男の子のために土俵にあがる女マネージャー等、相撲ブームであった1992年に、普通の大学生達の視線から「相撲」を色んな角度からとらえています。私の大学には相撲部がないのが残念です！

"Shiko Funjatta" is a film by Masao Suo, who also directed "Shall We Dance?" It is a story about a university student who happened to join a "sumo club" to get enough credits in order to graduate from university. This film is so funny in every way.
In the film an English exchange student also joined the club but refuses to wear "mawashi" (loincloth) because he doesn't think it is necessary to show his bottom in public. And there was a girl who wrestled in the public even though women are officially prohibited from competing in sumo. This film makes you see sumo from many different ways.
