29.Still Walking (2008, Japan) Hirokazu Koreeda -
Masterpiece [A+] I feel I could go on and about Korreda’s brilliant use of Ozu-themes and techniques, but the bottom line is that like Ozu, Korreda deeply affected my personal state and got me to reflect upon the careful beauty of the mundane and lost loved ones whom we can no longer share that with. Is there any higher compliment one can pay a great work of art than to say it inspired some deep personal reflection?
