Kitano/Kijujiro/Buffoon--Addition re Furansu-za

[Lorenzo Javier Torres Hortelano]

That's an interesting relation, Michael. What do you think then, about the
relation with Chaplin's "The Kid": you can find some similarities in the
plot (searching the lost mother), some atrezzo elements (angels) and some
significant graphic matches (movie poster with Kikujiro and Masao on the
beach looking back that is very similar to the classic one of Chaplin and
the kid with the mother's house in the background).

Thanks for your interest.
