I have forgotten about this... but San Francisco International Film Festival has just started this past Thursday. There are not too many Japanese films shown this year, but the lonely two are good ones.
I have written TOO MUCH about "Departures", but I wrote a bit about Still Walking, too, so see the following. It is an "Ozu-style" film about "nothing" that happens to an ordinary family, depicting psychological drama, small conflicts and love mixed together. Watch out for Hiroshi Abe and Kirin Kiki's serene yet impressive acting.
