Flipping Uncle Kimono
Trailer (the video will start after advertisement)
Synopsis
Actor/Designer John Malkovich summons a tv producer to Milan to document and participate in his unconventional fashion show. Rather then using regular models, Mr . Malkovich plans to have 20 Judo fighters beat each other up while wearing his designs. They will do this on a stage, in front of a live audience, with Mr. Malkovich directing all the action. He will also direct the 3 camera's of the Fashion Television crew as they film the event. The Hollywood star has 3 days to pull this unusual spectacle together. The tv crew follows Mr. Malkovich as he oversees fittings, tries to choreograph a group of Italian fighters, and drives to the factory where his clothesare manufactured. Along the way, we learn of his mother's agorophobia; that his children think he's a loser, and the voracious eating habits of his wife.

3 days in Milan
It was a great opportunity to present the line in Milan, the space we had chose was fabulous and we decided to not use coventional "models" .
In spite of the fact nothing was planned everything turned out very well and with the help of Sensei Vismara, Inno and BMW/Mini we created one of the most interesting 3 days of my life.
John enjoyed the improvvisation and had incredible patience and profesionalism, we have a great time....Believe me, this wasn't a Hollywood production.
Check out this documentary and you will know what I mean.

Black-belted Uncle Kimono
An inventive documentary with great ideas and lots of fun.
It's about the making of a special fashion show and its arrangements. There were Judo athletes on stage, so the show isn't an everyday sight for eyes, it's more spectacular, eventful and individual.
The film consists of six parts, contains nice designs and animations.
Completely the crew of the film did really nice work from producers, directors to stage workers, and John Malkovich was excellent and creative at the same time.
What more can I say...?
This documentary speaks for itself.
So knot your black-belts and enjoy the show!

Calling Uncle Jerry!
My impression after watching “Flipping Uncle Kimono”:
Forget Glover/Gibson.
Deep-Six Tucker/Chan.
Now we have Malkovich/Rulli!
Hollywood, here is the lineup for the best damn “Buddy Cop” flick EVER! John Malkovich is a somewhat neurotic, albeit brilliant, art expert working for Interpol in a conscientious, methodical manner. Francesco Rulli is a two-fisted, street wise carabinero whose unorthodox methods set him at odds with his superior officers. Together, they are on the case of a lifetime, chasing an international art-theft ring throughout Italy. Explosions, motorboat chases, “odd-couple” chemistry, massive destruction of priceless architectural treasures, a wild Vespa ride through a crowded strip club… get Bruckheimer on the phone, this movie MUST be made!
