The Japan Society is proud to co-present Hirokazu Kore-eda's _Still Walking_ at the 52nd San Francisco International Film Festival, April 23 to May 7, 2009.
The arrival of a new film by director Hirokazu Kore-eda is an eagerly anticipated event among cinephiles for whom this remarkably nuanced chronicler of Japanese life, loss and longing is now firmly established as a contemporary master of cinema at its most lyrical and emotionally satisfying. Over the course of a languorous summer afternoon, elderly parents host their two children--boisterous spouses and offspring in tow--for a commemoration of beloved son and sibling Junpei’s tragic death 15 years earlier. With its perfect performances and quiet build-up of fleeting pleasures--the flight of a yellow butterfly, the sizzle of frying tempura--_Still Walking_ resonates long after twilight descends upon the Yokoyama clan, whom viewers will love--and begrudge--as their own. _–Steven Jenkins_
The film screens on May 3 at 8:45PM and again on May 5 at 6:30PM at the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas.
