It is Hirokazu Kore, and the labels attached to this name are generally these: "Ozu's successor" (obviously Hamaguchi Ryusuke), "family affection", "life flow"...
To be honest, I've grown several layers of calluses on my ears because of these phrases.
Although he and Chief Jia have a buddy-like group photo (they share similar interests?), it is Hirokazu Kore-eda who is not like Chief Jia -- he travels the world on his own unique personal feelings, sometimes even ignoring the naturalness of the image. He's more, or more and more, a guy with perfect storytelling skills.
The last Japanese film to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes was "The Eel" 21 years ago, directed by Imamura Shohei. This movie is quite similar to "The Third Suspect" by Hirokazu Koreeda. They are both starring Yakusuo Hiroshi, and they all play a murderer. Both characters in the movie have scenes where they confess their hearts to others, and these scenes are also the most important scenes in the movie. In "The Eel", it was Yamashita Takuro (played by Koji Yakusho) who confessed to his fishing companion for the first time that he had killed his wife. A rebuttal of a confession.
For the former, the two of them sat on the boat with the setting sun, and when Takuro Yamashita finally revealed the secret in his chest, the camera moved up slowly, and Jingbei pushed it into a panoramic view of him alone, which was fixed. But this film language is far from achieving the desired effect. Although the camera is pushed up, I have not entered the heart of Yamashita Takuro.
In the latter case, it was Hirokazu-eda that only had two faces of Yakusho Koji and Fukuyama Masaharu on the screen. How would you sum up what happened in the movie theater? You are sitting on a chair in a movie theater, with Miyu Koji sitting in front of you. You stare at his face and listen to what he says. You know what he said is false, but his eyes are very sincere and unpredictable. In the place where you realize that there is a very deep universe in the eyes of the man sitting in front of you, you don't know what it is. After all, it's all up to you to experience it yourself. But Hiroyuki Kore-eda and the stick are there, giving us a completely free space to experience.
So, next time everyone will write about Hirokazu-eda, please don't write anything like "Ozu's successor", "very detailed in life", "very delicate" and so on. This is not a matter of choosing to immediately abandon reading this article after seeing these familiar words, but to vomit to the extent that bile flows out. .
