tokyo godfathers
I finally got a chance to check out Tokyo Godfathers, a film from Satoshi Kon. I love this kind of movie because it’s layered in a haphazard way that unravels throughout the film. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the movie gives you just a little more.
The film is based on the 1948 movie “3 Godfathers,” and what better than this beautiful little plot premise:
Three homeless people — an embittered alcoholic, a middle-aged transvestite and a teenage runaway — find an abandoned baby on Christmas Eve.
