EN – Screenings – Kikujiro

A funny and touching road movie that brings together a little abandoned boy with a clownish failed criminal (Takeshi Kitano himself), a reluctant father substitute. An ode to childhood with unforgettable music by Joe Hisaishi.

It’s the beginning of the summer holiday, and Masao’s friends leave for the sea with their families. But Masao has no one to go with. One day, feeling bored at his grandmother’s house where he lives, Masao comes across a picture of his mother that he had never seen before. He decides to go look for her. Kikujiro, an incompetent ex-criminal, is given the task of accompanying the boy on his quest. This holiday turns out not to be so boring after all.
