» While it's always heartwarming to see a loving couple live happily ever after, sometimes romance movies with sad endings can be even more powerful. Films where romance ends in tragedy provide an emotional catharsis for the audience and remind viewers of enduring love. In such movies, the journey becomes more important than the destination.
Celebration of tradition

» Veteran filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda became known after winning the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival for the crime drama Shoplifters despite having directed films and TV series for nearly three decades. Renowned for his gentle sense of pacing, simple yet beautiful cinematography, and a focus on the complexities of family relationships, he showcased his skills in previous works such as After The Storm (2016), Like Father, Like Son (2013) and Nobody Knows (2004). However, the one that has stuck in my mind to this day is Our Little Sister (2015), a female-focused drama that gave us a cosy, heartwarming family story, along with rich cultural and beautiful vistas of the Japanese countryside.
