The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl's UK theatrical release pushed back to 4th October

Fans of the work of Masaaki Yuasa - and in particular The Tatami Galaxy - will have to wait a little longer to see his new film The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl here in the UK, with news that its theatrical release courtesy of Anime Limited has moved from its original date of 20th September to one two weeks later on Wednesday, 4th October.

Based on a novel by The Tatami Galaxy and The Eccentric Family's Tomihiko Morimi, its story is described thus:

Gracefully yet violently, The Girl with Black Hair (Kana Hanazawa) swirls through the abstract Kyoto night a joyful tempest. Blowing through pub crawls, festivals and book fairs, her youthful glee infects parties of increasingly eccentric characters, but amongst the debtors, existentialists and the God of the Old Book Market, can she be convinced “coincidental” encounters are fate and will she notice the Senpai (Gen Hoshino) in pursuit of her love?

Whether the hands on your clock move fast or slow, The Night is Short, Walk On Girl.

More news on screening locations and where to book tickets will follow closer to the film's new 4th October release date.
