Kentaro(2021)

Kentaro is a Japanese comedy film about an unconventional household dynamic. The Saito family struggles to adjust to their peculiar live-in guest, Kentaro, who has an appetite for destruction—literally eating and breaking things at an alarming rate. Only their youngest daughter seems unbothered by his chaotic presence. As tensions mount over the mounting damage and food bills, the family begins to uncover the surprising reasons behind Kentaro's destructive behavior. What initially appears as mere rudeness gradually reveals itself as something far more complex and sympathetic. The film balances humor with heart, exploring themes of acceptance and understanding as the family learns to coexist with their mysterious flatmate. Kentaro delivers laughs while questioning what we owe to those who don't quite fit in.
