Bankûbâ no Asahi

Saw a Japanese movie after a long time. The popular satellite channels have no time or space for non English movies. Saw it on long flight. Superb detailing, inspite of a small screen one could see the depth and colour of the sets. Narrative is more or less linear, not too many sub plots to distract you or vie for your attention. Acting is superb, characters are well etched, agony of first gen immigrants versus the need of the next gen to merge with the society will find an echo with many. The story is simple but well crafted, background music, just apt. Story of underdogs winning against Goliaths has been done many times but this real story is one gem. See if it if you find it. I don't know the actors but I am sure would be well recognized in Japan.
