Still Walking [Criterion] (BLU)
Amoeba Review
In Japanese with English subtitles.
The lyrical, profoundly moving Still Walking is the most personal work to date from contemporary Japanese master Hirokazu Kore -eda (Maborosi, After Life, Nobody Knows). Fashioned as a tribute to his parents, the film depicts one day in the life of the Yokoyamas, gathered together for a
celebratory ritual that only gradually makes itself clear. Rather than focus on big dramatic moments, Kore-eda relies on simple gestures and domestic routines (especially cooking) to evoke a family's
entire life, its deep regrets and its daily joys. Featuring vivid, heartrending performances and a gentle naturalism that harks back to the director's earlier, documentary work, Still Walking is an
extraordinary portrayal of the ties that bind us.
