"...its avoidance of easy categorization only makes it more of a
must-see." —Time Out New York
From the creator of Shark Skin Man & Peach Hip Girl, Party Seven and
the lavish animated segment of Tarantino's KILL BILL: Vol.1.
As 8-year old Sachiko (Maya Banno) tries to get rid of a giant version
of herself who seems to pop up everywhere, her older brother Hajime
(Takahiro Sato), privately wrestles with his love-struck heart.
Meanwhile, their mother Yoshiko (Satomi Tezuka) is working hard,
coming out of retirement as an animator, as her husband and
professional hypnotist Nobuo (Tomokazu Miura) watches on with slight
apprehension. Even Nobuo's brother and successful manga artist
Todoroki has his problems. And lastly there's Grandpa, the most
bizarre and perhaps the most perceptive of all, who continues to
search for a better way to live life to the full.
Written, directed and edited by Katsuhito ISHII , The Taste of Tea is
a unique and gentle family portrait tackling the universal themes of
time, people and their lives.
