My Sunshine
Though an ice hockey player, teenager Takuya isn’t very passionate about sports, but his eyes light up when he spots young figure skater Sakura on the ice. Seeing traces of his young self in Takuya, Sakura’s coach Arakawa decides to train Takuya and Sakura as a duo. Loosely inspired by his own experiences as a skater, Hiroshi Okuyama’s follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut Jesus is a sublime sports film that lifts the spirits with its transcendent beauty while gently subverting genre conventions. Premiered at Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section, this melancholic wintry tale is one of the best coming-of-age films of the year.
