Tatsumi (15) S
Monday 13th- Thursday 16th February
In post war occupied Japan, young Tatsumi's passion for comics eventually becomes a means of supporting his poor family. As his career progresses he starts to question why comics should strictly cater to children. In 1957, he coined the term 'Gekiga' (dramatic pictures) and redefined Manga 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 stylised take on the life and work of Yoshihiro Tatsumi is a delight to watch.
