Susumu HANI
Children Hand In Hand
手をつなぐ子ら
Nippon Retro ²
Life is complicated, and childhood is a time of cruelty, tenderness, and growth. Susumu HANI’s remake of a 1948 film uses his fascinating documentary style to tell the story of a boy with a learning disability who must navigate his classmates’ at times brutal, at times tender and sensitive behavior. Avoiding a judgemental stance, HANI produces surprising insights into human nature.
