One of the most important anime directors of all time, Satoshi Kon’s third film—widely considered his best—is a gorgeous work of twisted realism inspired by John Ford’s 3 Godfathers. The rare anime with a trans protagonist, it follows an unlikely trio of friends living on the streets of Tokyo who discover a newborn on Christmas Eve and set out to find the baby’s parents.
