Oh, My Buddha!
Watch TrailerBased on the semibiographical novel by Jun Miura, Oh My Buddha is the classic summer coming-of-age story that is burned to a crisp with teenage angst, youthful dreams and that warm sense of folk zeitgeist of the 70s. The narrator is a first-year student at an all-boys Buddhist school. Jaded by his dull, ordinary life, he longs for the type of creative, liberal and forward life his idol Bob Dylan leads, writing rock songs alone in his room, imitating his hero's signature croon, until one day he got invited on an island trip of sexual liberation with his fellow liberal friend.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic coming-of-age tale by contrasting monastic discipline with the rebellious spirit of rock and roll, relying heavily on the nostalgic folk soundtrack of the 70s. It explores the painful and beautiful transition from adolescent illusions to a first taste of liberation.
What lingers after viewing is an intimate, emotionally resonant portrait where a personal awakening echoes the zeitgeist of a generation. The feeling is one of warm, slightly bittersweet nostalgia for a summer that changed everything. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Tomorowo Taguchi
