🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative around the contrast between Ikkyu's childish spontaneity and the formality of monastic life, using comedic situations to convey profound ideas. It relies on the folkloric image of the hero to speak about freedom of thought in a simple and visual way.

What lingers after viewing is a bright, kind story that will entertain children and leave adults with the pleasant aftertaste of subtle philosophy hidden within the jokes. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Naomi Kinoshita
