Synopsis
Celebrating a decade of championing Japanese film in Fanomenon, the Film Festival presents one of its biggest audience favourites. Still unreleased in the UK, The Taste of Tea is a delightful, surreal and serene comedy about the preoccupations and pastimes of the Haruno family, who live in a small town by the mountains near Tokyo. From the eldest family member – the wonderfully eccentric Grandpa who poses for comics and has a unique take on hide and seek, to the youngest - his granddaughter Sachiko who seems tobe followed by a 40-foot version of herself, the Harunos are an absolute pleasure to spend time with.
