CHIGASAKI STORY
A film by Takuya Misawa
Japan 2014 | 99 mins
Comedy–Drama | Japanese
Takuya Misawa's debut feature pays tribute to Yasujiro Ozu with an intricate comic-drama set in a Japanese coastal resort. Chigasaki Story revolves around a series of budding and long-buried romances among guests staying at the same guesthouse where Ozu conceived two of his greatest works, Tokyo Story and Late Spring.

​
"Chigasaki’s subtle visual charms come alongside generous smatterings of hilarious comedy revolving around suppressed, misplaced and awkwardly expressed yearning, as Misawa interweaves his understated directorial style with imploding relationship dramas"
— Clarence Tsui, The Hollywood Reporter
