Sad Vacation

Sad Vacation , Saddo Vakeishon? is a 2007 Japanese drama film written and directed by Shinji Aoyama, adapted from his own novel. It was named after the Johnny Thunders song.

Travis Mackenzie Hoover of Exclaim gave the film a favorable review, saying While the film is a tad on the nose with some of its dialogue and has a magicrealist coda totally out of character with the rest of the movie, mostly the approach is singular, uncompromising and strangely affirmative in spite of it all. Todd Brown of Twitch Film described the film as a quietly powerful drama in which Aoyama manages to address blood ties, fate and regeneration.
