The Kirishima Thing (Japan, 2012)

The Kirishima Thing tells the story of two high school students who crosses social boundaries between the elite and lower class at their school. Ryoya Maeda, from the lower class, is a member of the film club, while Hiroki Kikuchi, from the elite class, is a non-participating member of the high school baseball team.

The Kirishima Thing is without a doubt in my mind one of the best drama movies in recent years. I can't find any flaws with it. Basically, it's a slice of life kind of story revolving around a group of students. It uses the 'Rashomon effect' to tell the story from different characters, and it works great. Terrific acting all the way and a fantastic cast, The Kirishima Thing will be a film you'll come back too many times.

Genre: Drama
