Still Walking

“Still Walking” is an important film in the career of now Palme d’Or-winning director Hirokazu Koreeda. One of his strongest films to date and a tribute to Yasujiro Ozu's work, it shows his attention to detail most clearly, finding a pace that feels comfortable for his now-established brand of cinema.

Although he became instantly famous with his documentary about his father, “Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus”, it seems that Neo Sora has a lot more to give, as his feature debut, “HappyEnd”, which has already made a significant festival run, is brilliant.

Ponyo

Unlike a lot of English-dubbed movies out there, Ponyo was actually done very well. At no point did I cringe a little in my soul and wish for the Japanese voice talents along with some good subtitles. Ponyo on the Cliff is about a fish named Brunhilda who lives in an underwater aquarium in her father’s castle along with hundreds of her little sisters. When her father takes them on a trip to see a bit more of the ocean they live in, Brunhilda is driven to see more of the world and basically swims away from home. When she gets stranded on shore, she’s saved by five-year-old Sosuke. Sousuke lives with his mother Lisa on a cliff overlooking the sea.
