A Family Apart ... Will Come Together
"Transcendent ... completely absorbing , so sure of its own scale and scope that while you're watching it the rest of the world fades into irrelevance" - A.O. Scott , The New York Times
"The closest thing to a masterpiece ... A universal, deeply felt portrait of middle-class family life ... Comparable to Yasujiro Ozu's 1953 masterpiece, 'TOKYO STORY.' " - Stephen Holden, The New York Times
"Painful family issues are more likely to stay beneath the surface, known
to everyone but not spoken of. Still Walking, a magnificent new film
from Japan, is very wise about that, and very true." - Roger Ebert, Chicago-Sun Times
Synopsis : The film is a portrait of a family over roughly 24 hours as they commemorate the death of one member.
The lyrical, profoundly moving Still Walking (Aruitemo aruitemo) is
contemporary Japanese master Hirokazu Kore-eda’s most personal work to
date. Created as a tribute to his late 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 (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.
