I like this one. Very relaxed movie. Has a lot of Kore-Eda’s signature charm that I missed dearly in The Third Murder. A lot to unpack about ideas of masculinity and revenge. But it’s 1:30 AM so I won’t be doing that.
And thus concludes my viewing of Hirokazu Kore-Eda’s feature length filmography. Easily my favourite director of all time. Even amongst his worst films are great. And when he heats up, his best films create a sense of humanity unrivalled by anybody. I’ve cried tears to Nobody Knows and i’ve laughed through Broker. I’ve solemnly contemplated Still Walking and been swept away in the magic of I Wish. Kore-Eda’s films have given me new perspective on life, and helped me through struggles of my own, of identity, and of the future. While I will likely rarely return to titles like Maborosi & Our Little Sister, Kore-Eda has given me many films I will cherish for the rest of my life, and the man shows little sign of slowing down. My GOAT.
Getting back on the Weerasethakul grind tomorrow
