202. Tokyo godfathers (2003)


Country: Japan
Directed by Satoshi Kon

An anime comedy-drama film 'Tokyo godfathers' combines with interesting way humanism, cynicism, commercial representations, alternative representations, authentic emotions but also melodrama, presenting marginalized characters who try to survive in a very indifferent society full of rules and norms,  in an attractive story telling that is quite pleasant to watch. However, the real subject of the film is the one that dominates too many of Japanese movies film no matter the era that were produced: the relation of the individual with his family, the huge importance of the concept of family in Japanese culture
