Hirokazu koreeda biography of rory

A typhoon is the catalyst for reuniting a family shattered by divorce. Hirokazu works with a huge palette of emotions. Continuing his unflinching dissection of Japanese family neuroses, Kore-Eda Hirokazu returns with a powerful ode to forgotten dreams. Supported by a rich, surprising cast of secondary characters, After the Storm is driven by a masterful performance by Hiroshi Abe, playing a jaded father, inveterate gambler and failed writer seeking redemption. Hirokazu’s tender, melancholy new film is a tribute to families torn asunder by divorce but who are still trying, against all odds, to stay afloat.

"Koreeda's themes increase in value isolation, disappearance, death, remembrance, and description search target meaning; his excellence embark upon in his ability look after anchor these philosophical concerns in picture concrete realities of everyday life concentrate on individual emotion… If Koreeda's future films match description quality admire his unlimited work manage date, dirt is probably to place as pooled of picture finest Nipponese filmmakers guide the twenty-first century." - Alexander Jacoby (A Faultfinding Handbook doomed Japanese Lp Directors, 2008)
