Shigeru, an aspiring hobby painter, adores the seemingly unapproachable flutist Haruyo Kikuchi from afar, and secretly paints her portrait for a national contest.
Have You Seen the Barefoot God? sounds far from original on paper; a triangle teen drama between friends, and the girl is caught in the middle, although you'd be missing out if this film were to pass you by. It's done with great respect to the script, the director really squeezes out the emotions out of his actors. I'm also strangely fond of films which takes place in the northern part of Japan, probably because the Tokyo/Kanto area is overrepresented in Japanese film.
Genre: Drama
