Tokyo Godfathers
Director: Satoshi Kon
2003 / 92min / DCP
The late, great Kon’s penultimate feature takes place on Christmas Eve, when three homeless Tokyo residents discover, while rummaging through the garbage, an abandoned newborn baby. The ragtag, outcast trio—runaway girl Miyuki, trans woman Hana, and hard-drinking gambler Gin—are united in adopting responsibility for the child, who they care for while searching the city for its parents, following clues contained in a bag left behind with the baby. A rambunctious and heartwarming tale of unlikely allegiances, inspired loosely by 3 Godfathers, John Ford’s 1948 western.
