STILL WALKING DVD

Movie Description:
The lyrical, profoundly moving Still Walking is contemporaryJapanese master Hirokazu Kore-eda`s most personal work to date. Created as a tribute to hislate mother, the film depicts one day inthe life of the Yokoyamas, gathered together for a commemorative ritual whose nature only gradually becomesclear. Rather than focus on bigdramaticmoments, Kore-eda relies on simple gestures and domestic routines (especially cooking) to evoke a family`sentire life, its deep regrets and daily joys. Featuring vivid, heartrending performances and a gentle naturalism that harks back to the director`s early,documentary work, Still Walkingis an extraordinary portrayalof the ties thatbind us.
