Bay Theatre shows Japanese film “I Wish”

From staff reports

The Bay Theatre in Suttons Bay’s Bay Film Series presents I Wish by Japanese director Hirokazu KORE-EDA, playing Dec. 9-11. Two young brothers have been separated by their parents’ divorce and wish to reunite their family. When a new bullet train is launched which will link their two towns, they believe a miracle will happen as the high-speed trains first pass each other, so they hatch a plan to meet and make their wishes come true. This is a sweet and hopeful journey; a life adventure taken through the eyes and hearts of children.

The Wall Street Journal calls I Wish “A wise & funny film…works small miracles.” “Deceptively modest, utterly lovely,” says the New York Daily News. I Wish will play at The Bay Theatre on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 2 and 5 p.m.; Monday, Dec. 10 at 6 p.m.; and Tuesday, Dec. 11 at 6. Tickets cost $8.50. For more information visit TheBayTheatre.com.
