This kid-friendly film is a cool way to spend time with the children. Head to Cinematheque-Passion for a cinematic adventure. In contrast to Yamashita Nobuhiro’s “Sato Yasushi” adaptation “Over the Fence”, his adaptation of Kita Morio’s classic 1972 children’s book “My Uncle” provides a lighter, slice-of-life escape into a grade schooler’s account of his quirky uncle and their humorous misadventures.
When Yukio has to write about an adult around him for a school assignment, he chooses his idler Uncle, a philosophy lecturer who spends all his time lying around and mooching off the family. Uncle is motivated like never before when he falls head over heels for Japanese-American Eri, but she soon returns to Hawaii. Determined to pursue his love, he heads to Hawaii with Yukio.
