Viewing Notes

Another Suzuki I have not seen. Was not the movie I thought it was. Also did not expect this to be so funny. In fact it is a comedy. I really enjoyed this and the struggle of these adult boys coming into their own conflicted between right and wrong (religion versus sexual desires). Really pleased to see this on the big screen at Film Center.
