A Story About Kusanojo
1997, Japanese. Directed by Kohei Ando.
Futaro, now 14 years old, is an only boy. His mother, an actress, raised him on her own. She herself is innocent, just like a child. It seems almost incredible to Futaro that she was brought him up by her self. One day, in the garden, Futaro seems a man dressed like a samurai. He must be one of mother’s actor friends, Futaro thinks, but then he resembles Futaro’s father. The stranger is called Kusanojo. He was a true samurai and now he is a true ghost. Strangely, Kusanojo seems to have forgotten the fact that he is a ghost. A strange life of 3 people with Futaro, his mother and his father who is a ghost starts.
