    It's Hirokazu Kore-eda's debut feature film that discusses life and death. If the speed is slower, I would think that the director is Naomi Kawase. From the beginning, the back view of grandma's departure has established the style of this film. The strong flavor of Hou Hsiao-hsien can also be seen by An Zhe. shadow.

  • Yumiko: It's harder to say goodbye if we keep postponing it.

  • Yumiko: [Recalling her first husband's unexplained suicide] I just... I just don't understand! Why did he kill himself? Why was he walking along the tracks? It just goes around and around in my head. Why do you think he did it?
