Ping Pong
Based on the popular comic book by Matsumoto Taiyo, "Ping Pong" examines the interplay of friendship, loyalty, rivalry, and self-esteem between two high-school friends, the arrogant and brazen Peco (Yosuke Kubozuka) and quiet and introspective Smile (Arata). With its elegant visual dissection of the sport and examination of the differing philosophies among its players, "Ping Pong" is a triumph for first-time director Fumihiko Sori.
