#koreeda — Public Fediverse posts

Große Empfehlung: Der #Film "Die #Unschuld" des japanischen Regisseurs #Koreeda.

I've seen many Kore-eda films, but until tonight never watched his debut Maborosi (幻の光, maboroshi no hikari, illusion of light, or trick of the light - the relevance of the title only becomes apparent right at the end of the film) .
It's utterly sad and utterly beautiful, and some of the scenes are both so understated but also so incredibly powerful that you'll remember them for a long time.

I've never seen Kore-eda's After Life (in Japanese ワンダフルライフ, Wonderful Life, surely no coincidence), so I put that right tonight. It's strange but very beautiful, and not without a lot of humour, especially around the very low-tech filming of the dead people's chosen memories.

It packs in quite a lot - the role of memory, the function of cinema and the limits of our imagination, without ever feeling didactic or dry. And it's pretty unsentimental given the subject matter, although there are scenes where you may shed a tear or two.

Saw #KoreEda's #Broker last night at the #Picturehouse (Thank you #MilkTeaAlliance) and had such a good time, crazy mismatched family road trip, Korean style, heart warming, cool, not dumb.
