We have a pretty good feeling this might be Hirokazu Koreeda's year.

Thinking about that time when Park Chan-wook made a version of Lady Vengeance where the colour slowly fades to black and white.

Also caught this at TIFF, and we left wishing we could spend a few more hours with those characters (and it’s almost 3 hours btw)

Look Back was our favourite watch at TIFF, which is pretty insane given how good the animated adaptation was.
New trailer for the live-action adaptation of ‘LOOK BACK’. Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda.

Grave of the Fireflies.
One of the best films we’ll probably never watch again.

“When I first came across Kiki, the first image that occurred to me was a small girl flying across the city at night. A sea of lights — but not a single one offers her a warm welcome. There's a profound loneliness high above the city. In flying, one may no longer be confined to land, but this freedom also implies insecurity and loneliness. The heroine of our film is a girl who defines herself by flying.” — Hayao Miyazaki, foreword to The Art of Kiki's Delivery Service
