Revolution+1 (stylized as REVOLUTION+1) is a 2022 Japanese semi-biographical experimental drama film based on the 2022 assassination of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe. The film stars Soran Tamoto as Tatsuya Kawakami (a fictionalized version of Abe's killer, Tetsuya Yamagami), a former JMSDF officer serving life imprisonment for assassinating former prime minister Abe. The film recounts his past through flashbacks as it examines his motivations for assassinating Abe. The film was directed by former domestic terrorist and filmmaker Masao Adachi and started being filmed at the end of August 2022, almost two months after Abe was fatally wounded with a homemade gun while delivering a public speech.
A special unfinished cut of the film was released to select Japanese theaters in September 2022, on the week of Abe's official state funeral. Multiple theaters cancelled their screenings of the unfinished cut, citing multiple reasons such as claiming that the film glorifies Yamagami's actions. The film's director has refuted these accusations, claiming that the film does not justify his actions at all and is intended to be an unbiased examination of his mental state and history (though he has gone on record to state on an interview panel that he does support Yamagami's actions). The final, full version of the film premiered in December of the same year, with limited international screenings following in 2023.
The following weapons were used in the film Revolution+1:
Zip Gun
A Zip Gun is used by Tatsuya Kawakami (Soran Tamoto) to fatally wound former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe. The prop firearm used in the movie is modeled after the actual zip gun used by Tetsuya Yamagami in the assassination.
