This is a fairy tale brought by a man to a child. Even if the whole world thinks that he is idle and sloppy, at least in the hearts of the little boy, that summer with Kikujiro will always be the best. Ring the angel's bell, and an angel will come to you. Who would have thought that this...

An expressionless boy, a depressed middle-aged man, a mass of frozen summer time, plus a spoonful of Japanese humor - your afternoon summer drink is ready, please enjoy it.       The film's theme and narrative are not complicated, its appeal comes from an implicit, soft, non-verbal emotion: it's a...

This article is a dissertation of the course "Road Film Studies" that I have taken.

"Kiujiro's Summer" is the eighth film directed by Takeshi Kitano. It is a slightly warm comedy in his film career, and is also recognized as the most personal biographical film in his works. Takeshi Kitano tells...

Some movies make you laugh, some make you cry, and some make you cry with laughter, like Kikujiro's Summer. I have seen this movie countless times, and every time I watch it, it brings me countless joy and emotions. From this movie, I fell in love with Summer, I fell in love with Kikujiro, I fell...

Summer nights, frogs croaking, the coolness after the rain and the fresh air come together, and only at such a moment is it more worthy of people to use a piece of text to record some trivial and superfluous feelings..... .I just finished watching a movie that doesn't catch your interest at first...

I was recommended by a friend with a very similar aesthetic taste in movies to watch this work of Takeshi Kitano in 1999. "Kiujiro's Summer", this simple and somewhat straightforward movie name, and the whole movie is just like its name, with light pictures, soft music, no tediousness, no heavy...

"Summer of Kikujiro" is a very different kind of film. Its alternative is not to say that the story is unconventional, but to the director of the film, Takeshi Kitano.   Takeshi Kitano, a Japanese director who is well-known both at home and abroad for his "violence aesthetics", in order to get rid...

When I picked up the pen, I found that I also ushered in a long summer. I've been wanting to write it for a long time, and I have a lot to say in my heart, and this is the beginning. Wait I was a lonely child, taciturn, and only smiled on a stiff, melancholy face when I was with my close friends....

Joe Hisaishi meets Takeshi Kitano: Joe Hisaishi and Takeshi Kitano reminded me of Lin Xi and Faye Wong all of a sudden. Someone once said that Lin Xi gave Faye Wong all the best words, so Faye Wong could ascend to the throne of the queen like a god. I forgot how Lin Xi answered. But one constant...

When I first saw this movie more than half a year ago, I thought Kikujiro was that little boy. Later I found out that Masao was actually the little boy, Kijiro, who was actually Takeshi Kitano.        Like many Japanese cartoons I saw when I was a child, Kitano's movie is humorous, witty, and has...
