Kokuho at the Cary Theater

Nagasaki, 1964. After the death of his father, the leader of a yakuza gang, 14-year-old Kikuo is taken under the wing of a famous Kabuki actor. Alongside Shunsuke, the actor’s only son, Kikuo decides to dedicate himself to this traditional form of theatre. Across decades, the two young men grow and evolve together – from acting school to the grandest stages – amid scandals and glory, brotherhood and betrayals, as each pushes to become the greatest living Kabuki master.

This movie is not short, but it's supposed to be really excellent. If you're interested in meeting beforehand across the street at Taipei 101, say something in the comments and if there's enough interest I'll see if I can get a reservation.
