What Okiku and the World is
A period romance that finds fertile ground in the least sanitary corner of feudal Japan. Okiku, a disgraced samurai’s daughter, crosses paths with two itinerant waste collectors who hustle human excrement to farmers. The film blooms, somewhat miraculously, without smelling like one.
