I'm kind of surprised this is as old as it is, because it's really playful as a parody that doesn't feel very 1950s to me; even late '50s. But I guess that's Nags Oshima for you; he was never really easy to pin down as a filmmaker, and kind of did whatever he wanted. Remarkably, the risks he took paid off way more often than not (at least from what I've seen), and seeing this fake trailer/short film is another reminder that I should well check out more of his stuff. I don't remember how big his filmography is, but it could even be one worth completing at some point.
Anyway, Tomorrow's Sun was a whirlwind ride and I didn't really know what was going on, but it was shot well and fun, and I liked how weird it generally was. It's kind of disappointing that it didn't end up being a trailer for an actual movie that was like six hours long and attempted to be every single genre at once. People probably weren't ready back then; even now, maybe they still wouldn't be.
