Thanks both of you for your responses.
I already knew his website and richie's book Nate, but I did not
thought to Rebecca and "Una pura formalitą", I did not see this film
yet, thank you for your suggestions. Thank you too for your
bibliographic indications, it is going to help me.
About Ozu, French critics did not do such a comparison and you seem
to know a lot about it Nate: might you be more explicit. Personnaly,
I hardly see a kind of link between them, except about there
conception of the family.
The best interview I find by myself is linked with a site Nate
suggested:

not really worth reading. the only thing i got out of it that i
didnt get out of the reviews contemporaneous to after life was that
koreeda had planned a "fantastic voyage" feature where he shrinks

for the complete cocco collection dvd and could never find a chinese
pirate of it. "this life" is an 8mm collaboration with kawase naomi
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawase_Naomi), daremo shirani is his
new feature (http://www.kore-eda.com/features.htm) and the third one
