LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON (2013) | Electric Film Series Screening

The Electric Film Series returns to the Electric Theater at 6 PM on Tuesday, November 19th with a 2010’s release that’s moving, understated, and thought-provoking in equal measure;

“Like Father, Like Son” (2013)

—-------------------------------------------

Not to be confused with the beloved 80s Dudley Moore/Kirk Cameron father/son comedy of the same name, this Japanese import from the gifted writer/director Hirokazu Koreeda (“Shoplifters,” “Monster”) presents a father/son story of a much more hard-hitting (and understated) nature. What would you do if you discovered that the child you raised as your own was actually switched at birth? This is the provocative hook at the heart of “Like Father, Like Son,” a quiet but powerful exploration into the tough decision a workaholic businessman must make after making a most startling discovery.

Experience a film that Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times calls “meaningful and deeply moving.”

Per usual, we at The Electric Film Series…
