Gummi, Chocolate, Pine

2007, 127 min., digital video. Directed by Keralino Sandorovich. With Takuya Ishida, Mei Kurokawa and Nao Omori.  International Premiere.

Unemployed and directionless, Kenzo returns to his hometown and reunites with his childhood friends after many years. Flashing back to his 1980s high school years–love, sexual fantasies/frustration and guitar rock–this eccentric story recounts the charm of teenage awkwardness and failed adult ambitions. Based on the bestselling novel by Indie rock star Kenji Otsuki, this is the third feature film by Sandorovich, aka Kera, one of the most sought-after theater writer/directors in Japan today.
