About
A screening of the film "Sad Vacation". Director Shinji Aoyama adapted it from his own novel as the third and final film of his "Kitakyushu Saga". It stars Tadanobu Asano as Kenji, a young man scarred by an unhappy childhood who, while drifting through odd jobs, recognizes his employer's wife as the mother who abandoned him and plots to infiltrate the household. A rich, moving human drama of families assigned and chosen, captured with striking, somber beauty by cinematographer Masaki Tamura.

Critics
The critic praises the film's humane, uncompromising vision and its hopeful portrayal of damaged people forming bonds, finding it deeply fascinating. Faults include overly explicit dialogue and a jarring magic-realist ending that clashes with the rest.
