Tokyo Godfathers
Dir: Kon Satoshi
Japan, 2003, Japanese, 92mins, DCP
Cast: Voice Cast: Emori Toru, Umegaki Yoshiaki, Okamoto Aya
One Christmas Eve, three rough sleepers – transgendered woman Hana, middleaged alcoholic Gin and teenage runaway Miyuki – come across an abandoned baby in a garbage heap. The trio sets out to find the baby’s parents, leading to an odyssey that forces them to face their respective pasts – and the dark side of the affluent city. Inspired by John Ford’s 3 Godfathers , and featuring a script co-written by Cowboy Bebop scriptwriter Nobumoto Keiko, Kon’s enchanting and surprisingly funny adventure about the magical miracles of everyday coincidences is simply one of the best – and most unusual – Christmas films ever made.
