If you loved La Maison en Petits Cubes, try Tokyo Godfathers
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Animation / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Maison en Petits Cubes, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tokyo Godfathers is
Tokyo streets on Christmas Eve, trash-filled alleyways, a mewling infant. A drunken bum, a trans woman, and a runaway teen form an unlikely trio. Satoshi Kon balances humor and pathos with surprising ease.
