The lyrical, profoundly moving Still Walking is Hirokazu Kore-eda's most personal work. Created as a tribute to his mother, the film depicts one day in the life of the Yokoyamas, gathered together for a commemorative ritual whose nature only gradually becomes clear. Rather than focus on big dramatic moments, Kore-eda relies on simple gestures and domestic routines to evoke a family’s entire life, its deep regrets and its daily joys. Featuring vivid, heartrending performances and a gentle naturalism, Still Walking is an extraordinary portrayal of the ties that bind us. (Japan, 2008, 114 mins, Japanese | Dir. Hirokazu Koreeda)
