Japan Society of Boston Film Club: "Kikujiro no Natsu" (1999)

Our next film is Kikujiro no Natsu or Kikujiro (1999) directed by Takeshi Kitano, an iconic actor who also stars in the film. The score was composed by Joe Hisaishi, and tells the story of a young boy searching for his mother during his summer vacation in bittersweet episodic scenes.
