ABOUT THE FILMS: STILL WALKING, 2008, Dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda, 114 Mins, IFC Films, Japan In Japanese with English subtitles. Fifteen years ago, Ryo’s older brother Junpei died while rescuing a boy from drowning. On the anniversary of his death, Ryo and his sister, each with their own families in tow, have made the trip to visit their elderly parents, and the years of tension kept barely below the surface finally threaten to run over during their 24-hour stay. From everyday domestic squabbles over sizzling tempura in the kitchen to the elegant graveside ritual performed for Junpei, Kore-eda shows complete mastery of his characters, exposing bit by bit in real time both the grievances that drive them apart and the love that holds them together.
