A huge hit in its native Japan, Ping Pong is an exhilarating and endearing tale of childhood friends. Set against a sporting backdrop, its a film full of style, arresting imagery and energy. Despite fundamental differences in temperment, the cocky, outgoing Peco and the reserved, ironically named Smile remain friends into their teenage years. Star ping pong players for their school, the pair hit personal crises that affect both their lives and their game.
Based on the five volume manga by Taiyo Matsumoto, Fumihko Sori's debut picture is marked by unpredictable plot and character developments, an appealing lack of cynicism and some of the most exciting, imaginative sporting sequences ever committed to film.
