Heartfelt Movie that Sings the Song of the Unheroic Hero
A Story of Yonosuke (160 min, 2012)
Directed by Shuichi Okita
Yonosuke arrives at university in the late 1980s, a time when Japan is booming and the economy is raining cash.
Hopelessly naive, and hopelessly self-confident, he comes to the big city and annoying and charming everyone in equal measure, but his good nature brings him romance and a loyal group of friends.
The next 20 years finds him following the winding road of contemporary Japanese history, filled with twists and turns.
In Japanese with English subtitles
