About Christmas Story
It's the winter of 1937, in Memphis, Tennessee. A dispute unfolds between the Delivery family and the Antonioni family. The boss of the Delivery family, Dave, is shot and killed, and secretly sunk into a water fountain. At about that time, a Christmas show is being rehearsed at St. Michaels Church. The leader is Frank Fellow, a devout Christian. He is a steady elementary school teacher, but along with his friend Alfat, has always dreamed of standing on a Broadway stage. At that moment, a large earthquake strikes unexpectedly. When he regains consciousness, Frank is riding the train bound for heaven, with only his harmonica in his hand.
Directed by Kusano Akira, Christmas Story leans on a strong ensemble — Minoru Kou, Yuri Hoshina, Nao Ayaki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1998.
