THE NIGHT IS SHORT, WALK ON GIRL

Propelled by a fizzing, free-form animation style, Masaaki Yuasa’s film follows a young woman (Kana Hanazawa) on a surrealist romp through Kyoto’s streets. Drinking, dancing, perverts, a book god, guerrilla theatre and a man who won’t change his pants until he finds true love all feature. The farce is infectiously fun and visually joyous.
