Still Walking
Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda1h 54m2008
A family gathers together for a commemorative ritual whose nature only gradually becomes clear.
Our read: Still Walking (2008) reads as a neutral, slow-burn, grounded drama entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, tender in temperature, ambivalent in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Neutral, slow-burn, gentle drama, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, tender.
