Sketches of Kaitan City

Sketches of Kaitan City , Kaitanshi Jokei? is a 2010 Japanese drama film directed by Kazuyoshi Kumakiri, starring Mitsuki Tanimura and Ryo Kase.

Dustin Chang of Twitch Film felt that the film resembles strongly of the neoneo realism of the Dardenne brothers films but without their sense of hope. Meanwhile, Maggie Lee of The Hollywood Reporter noted Kazuyoshi Kumakiris low key but tender depictions of working class people and subtle assimilation of socioeconomical realities, redolent of the works of Jia Zhangke and Wang Bings West of the Tracks.
