Isao Takahata directed this 1981 film adaptation of Etsumi Haruki's hugely popular manga. It follows Chie, a ten-year-old girl stuck running her family's diner while her yakuza father sits around unemployed and her parents are separated. Yeah, that setup sounds bleak, but the movie's actually hilarious—a comedy that doesn't take itself seriously despite the grim premise. The story's set in Osaka, which has its own distinct culture pretty different from Tokyo. The film did well enough to spawn a TV series, with Takahata coming back as chief director for that too.
