Part 2

As part of the 2010 Japan Cuts: Festival of Contemporary Japanese Cinema, lead actor Daichi Watanabe and director Tomorowo Taguchi took the time to conclude the showing with a Q&A about the film.

"A well-told and compulsively watchable story." - Marc Saint-Cyr, J-Film Pow-Wow

A whole new world of "free love" opens up to Jun (played by Daichi Watanabe, of the band Kuroneko Chelsey, making a breakthrough debut here) after taking up a friend's offer to stay at a paradise-like island youth hostel over summer break. Previously walled off from sex at a private Buddhist school for boys, this young rock n' roll music fiend's life is changed forever.

In the tradition of George Lucas' classic coming-of-age film, American Graffiti and Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused, Taguchi and co. give a beautiful portrayal of youth, alive to the beauty of its slow fade, exalting their joys and tears alike before it all burns away, while sharing the full spectrum of intense adolescent emotions: from agonizing shame to exhilaration, frustration and doubt. Sentimental? Sure enough, but also almost impossibly sincere and always jubilant. Oh, My Buddha! scores big, makes all the right moves and hits all the right notes.
