Thursday, December 15th - 6:30pm
JICC Auditorium
Presented by the JICC and the
Japan Commerce Association of Washington, D.C.
From the director of Still Walking and Nobody Knows comes this charmingly off-beat tale of a shy young samurai sent to avenge the death of his father. Dependent on the rapidly depleting funds of his dojo to finance his mission, he settles into a squalid section of the bustling town of Edo, surrounded by a motley crew of colorful characters. After befriending a beautiful young widow and her 7 year old son, he finds his time better spent teaching children to read and write than hunting down his father’s assassin. But when he discovers that the killer is living nearby, he must choose whether to bury the sword or follow the way of the samurai.
Japanese w. English subtitles | PG | 127 min | 2006 | Directed by Hirokazu Koreeda
