Hirokazu Kore-eda Retrospective

Kore-eda does not know what to do with the issue of death, yet he constantly searches where to take the past, the memory, the pain, the yearnings, the residues, the guilt, the inability to accept the end of life. He does so by placing his protagonists in a perfect and indifferent nature, where death is part of life, but still foreign and ungraspable. All the while he manages to capture his heroes in there most humane moments - lost and vulnerable. This retrospective is an opportunity to see why Hirokazu Kore-eda has become one of the most prominent Japanese filmmakers.
     

The End of the Road

Few issues trouble mankind as death does; be it physical death or metaphorical death. The program before us showcases films that deal with death. The list includes classics such as Nosferatu and The Seventh Seal, to more recent works like Gran Torino and 21 Grams. 

A New Beginning

A moment before this dark decade ends, and as an accord for the end of The End of the Road program, we offer you an alternate evening, with a ray of hope, a grain of compassion, and a speck of love.
