Kamatsu is an 80 year old Japanese man who came to Buenos Aires more than five decades ago because he heard that there was a hen that lay green eggs. In a game of expectation and reality, this documentary continually stumbles over its own preconceptions. The initial idea of understanding the migration, identity and tradition of a Japanese migrant derives in the story of some eggs, some notebooks and the authors' search for vision and meaning.
Reviews
Absolutely the worst movie.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
