Yoshiro Nakamatsu, Japanese inventor extraordinaire, is almost 80, but he plans to live until he is 144. In his native country, he is an offbeat cultural phenomenon, complete with his own fan club. He holds 3,357 patents (compare that to Thomas Edison’s 1,093!), and was instrumental in the development of the floppy disc. He trusts his sense of smell to identify a good camera, and his best ideas come to him underwater, so he spends lots of time at the bottom of the pool. He realizes his ways are unconventional, but he is keenly committed to maintaining his image as a dignified inventor and shrewd businessman, custom suits included. Filmmaker Kaspar Astrup Schröder interweaves Nakamatsu’s often revealing, and rarely modest, reflections on his own inventive genius with entertaining, occasionally hilarious examples of his unlikely inventions and antics. The result is a fun-loving exploration of the human capacity for creativity and invention.  SB
