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.

» Serene, slow-paced and oddly affecting. Such is Every Day A Good Day, the latest work by Japanese director Tatsushi Ohmori, a drama that revolves around the meticulously detailed and delicate Japanese tea ceremony. The film is, sadly, the final movie role for Kirin Kiki, the beloved veteran of Japanese cinema. She passed away last September at the age of 75.
