TOKYO GODFATHERS (OmU)

Tokyo Godfathers

(2003)

An anime Christmas movie, how rare is that? We return to master Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue) and his most realistic emotionally grounded movie. On Christmas Eve, three homeless people find an abandoned baby on the cold streets of Tokyo, and try to find its parents. Heartwarming and yet skeptical of traditional families, Kon’s movie places a pseudo-found family at its centre, a counter to the atomized loneliness of modern Japanese (and indeed western) life.Ticket link coming soon!
