A war-disabled father and his young wife form a bleak, transient family unit - forcing their children to stage road accidents and extort money from drivers. Always moving to stay one step ahead of the authorities, the eldest boy retreats into a rich inner world of fantasy and invention to escape the cruelty of his circumstances. Shot across the length of Japan, BOY is a devastating, compassionate portrait of a child failed by society, now recognised as a key precursor to the films of Hirokazu Koreeda.

Presented here in a new 4K restoration from the original negative.
