Saw Hirokazu Koreeda’s #IWish. Kinda like The Parent Trap and I Vitelloni moved to Japan …
… and had an extraordinarily well-favoured child there. Sweet, dear, luminous stuff!
#IWish. The work of an exceeding sensitive & subtle filmmaker. Requires/rewards the same kind of viewing …
… It’s full of seeming inconsequentialities, & they’re rendered, on the face of it, quite casually. But by the end …
… in a modest & yet almost tympanic way, they’ve all added up to something very consequential indeed.
#IWish. Loved all the kids, these geriatric conspiracies, the muted acceptance of the grown-up ending …
… the heart-stopping summary montage. Loved it!
#IWish. Wr./dir. Koreeda has not been especially prolific. He is really major. You should subscribe!
