See the world premier of Oh, My Buddah! directed by Tomorowo Taguchi at the Doris Duke Theatre on December 22, 2009.
The film is in Japanese with English subtitles.

The coming-of-age story gets uproariously comedic treatment in this film based on the novel by Jun Miura. The narrator—Jun—is a first-year student at an all-boys Buddhist school in Kyoto in 1974. He idolizes Bob Dylan and writes his own songs as he trudges through his dull, middle class life. One day he and his friends are invited to an island of “free sex,” and suddenly the summer sparkles with unexpected surprises.

Yuko Shiomaki, producer of the Japanese films  Adrift in Tokyo, Oh, My Buddah!, Sad Vacation, Autumn Heart, and many other acclaimed international films, will introduce Oh, My Buddah! on Tuesday, December 22 at 7:30 p.m. She will be available following the screening to answer questions.
