Kikujiro




I watched this movie starring Kitano Takeshi as Kikujiro again. A latch key kid living with his grandma keeps busy with school and soccer, but when summer comes, all his friends and even the soccer coach go off with their families. He comes a across a picture of his mother and decides to go on a quest to find her. A rough, deadbeat husband to his grandmother's friend gets volunteered to accompany him. They meet an odd assortment of adventures, trouble, and disappointments along the way and make some new friends. Great movie with feeling and fun. I give it 5/5 acorns.
