Reminds me of Herzog's poignant last film set in Japan, Family Romance, LLC
Perhaps an inspiration.

How can you "discredit" a fictional drama film? (Family Romance, LLC). Has "Inglourious Basterds" also been thoroughly discredited?
EDIT: Nevermind, apparently there exists an actual, real company named "Family Romance", that's what parent poster's quote is referring to.
