Tatsumi celebrates the life and work of Japanese comics artist Yoshihiro Tatsumi. Already published as a teenager, talented Tatsumi finds even greater inspiration after meeting his idol, famous Disneyesque animator Osamu Tezuka. In 1957, Tatsumi coins the term gekiga (dramatic pictures) and redefines the manga landscape by encouraging an alternative genre for adults. Realistic and disquieting, Tatsumi’s work begins to grapple with the darker aspects of life… Eric Khoo’s animated feature brings the classic stories to the big screen for the first time.
