Based on the true story of Japanese artist Isamu Noguchi, who was born in America of a Japanese father and American mother who bring him to Japan and raise him and their struggles of survival in early twentieth-century Japan. He later returns to America and becomes well-known. This is an excellent film in every way, except for the casting at the end of the too-American-looking older Isamu, who looks more like Ricky Nelson. Boy, they blew it on this one! But the rest of the movie was magnificent in casting, and Emily Mortimer could have easily won an Academy Award for best actress, but these kinds of films do not usually get Hollywood attention because of the politics of things; Emily Mortimer.
