It's between our little sister, after the storm, shoplifters and after life for me. Probably our little sister. It's amazing how naturalistic and fantastic the performances he gets out of his actors is especially when you compare it to the usual japanese slop that gets put out with all the camp.
>>223349944Shoplifters. Nobody Knows kind of pissed me off. Like Father, Like Son was decent.
>>223351063so they're promoting deviant lesbianism in japan now too, eh?
>>223349944After Life, but I still need to watch Nobody Knows, Still Walking, Shoplifters, and the 2026 releases. I have seen his other major works.
I love this mfer like you wouldn't believeMost of his films are masterpieces. I haven't really looked at any of his foreign language filmsAny other directors with this vibe? Closest I'd say was Wong Kar-wai at least for me. Those my dawgs
>>223350983You have to watch the movie to find out.
>>223353027I dont think I will.
>>223353073On second thought, yes I will
>>223349944Monster = Still Walking > Shoplifters > I wish = After the Storm > Like Father Like Son = After Life > Our Little Sister = Broker = The Truth = Asura > Air Doll > Hana > Maborosi > The Third Murder > Distance.I like all of them with the exception of the last 2 which I still wouldn't call bad. Incredibly solid and consistent filmography. Really looking forward to his Look Back.
>>223349944Probably After the Storm.Monster was one of the worst things i've ever seen. I couldn't understand why it was so bad. It's absolutely awful compared to his other work.Then i realised he didn't write it.
>>223351604>Any other directors with this vibe?Ozu>>223351283Those other directors could get naturalistic performances out of their actors too, but they're not trying. They purposely get performances that are unrealistic.It's a japanese/buddist thing, something about not trying to imitate reality because it's so beautiful that you couldn't capture it if you even tried..... (which is BS but i get it).
