the comparisons with ozu were because of the cinematography and editing in
maboroshi, the way he frames his shots and the way takes begin early or end
late. maboroshi reminded me more of _tess_ and some of mizoguchi's stuff than
ozu, but he was the one who got mentioned in the reviews; all ive seen of his is
o-hayou, and there wasnt much similarity that i saw.

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 formalità", 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:

Hi,

There's a longer article about Koreeda in an issue of Film Comment from 1999,
but
I'm not sure which one, right now.  Also an article by Tony Rains in Sight and
Sound
from the same year.  I'll let you know, if I find more.  Have you tried posting
on the
KineJapan mailing list? -> http://pears.lib.ohio-state.edu/Markus/

ive got some english links here:

http://www.artofeurope.com/koreeda/

there's a review of after life in the new _Film Quarterly_ thats 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 down and goes inside his body to cue him of
alzheimer's. sight and sound did something when after life came out. i'll run
through the MLA bibliography, let you know what turns up.

how did you get his documentaries from TV Man U? I'd be willing to write a
publish-or-perish piece for a peer-reviewed journal to get my hands on them.

also... there's three films and a music video on the filmography at my page that
arent on yr list. i wasnt willing to pay 60 euros 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 i dont know, it's on his JMDb listing.

best,
nate
ps i'd be interested in reading at least a treatment of yr thesis. i could set
my francophone sister onto translating the whole thing. ;)

Hello everyone,

I am a french student working on Koreeda for my thesis. I have his
free fiction films and four documentaries (but I can not send them to
you, I promized it to TV Man Unionc Inc. ;) )
It is often difficult for me to find english articles about him from
France, especially about his documentary and his situation into
contemporary japanese films (I just find the book by Mark Schilling :
http://www.midnighteye.com/books/contemporary-japanese-
film_encyclopedia-of-japanese-pop-culture.shtml ).
So, if you have any kind of information about him, do not hesitate,
even if it is just about his fiction. Thanks by advance.

http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1001830332/section-
videos/code-j/did-748/

dvd with english subtitles here:

http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1001838281/section-
videos/code-j/did-748/

you can buy it on dvd from amazon.co.jp - it has english subtitles
and they'll ship to the states.

I just found out that Kore-eda directed the video
for the song 'Mizukagami' (Mirror of water), by
Cocco. You can see part of the video at Cocco's
website:<br><a href=http://www.cocco.co.jp/clips/clips.html
target=new>http://www.cocco.co.jp/clips/clips.html</a><br>It's the one in the
center, with Cocco singing in the
snow.

Sorry, no idea about that one.<br>Perhaps you"ll
just have to be patient. After Life took about a year
and a half to get released in the US and the
UK.<br>This movie might also have a hard time, because it
wasn't as well received at festivals as the first
two.<br><br>: (

It's been a while since I heard of the release of Distance at Cannes. I'm
thinking maybe my city just didn't get the movie. So I'm wondering if anyone has
anything like a release date for video?

Try <a
href=http://www.festival-cannes.com/films/fiche_film.php?langue=6002&id_film=200\
1970
target=new>http://www.festival-cannes.com/films/fiche_film.php?langue=6002&id_fi\
lm=2001970</a>

I'll be first in line to see it when it
eventually comes to Dallas. But lately foreign films have
been slow to get here. I'm also a fan of Shohei
Imamura. He has a new movie called "Warm Water Under a Red
Bridge" but I can't find any info about it anywhere. Got
any suggestions?

Basically, it's about these four people who are
related to members of a doomsday cult that caused a
massacre by poisoning water and comitted mass suicide. On
the third anniversary of the incident they travel to
the cult’s mountain retreat to commemorate the
tragedy. Through a twist of fate they have to stay
overnight in the cult’s house with the one surviving
member, who left before it was too late. There they
reminisce on their relationships with the cult members,
which are told in the form of flashbacks. We also see
each of them when they are being questioned by the
police right after the massacre, which is quite similar
to the interview scenes in After Life.<br>Apparently
the movie was inspired by the memory of the Aum
Shinryuku gas attack of 1995. The film seems very critical
of (Japanese) society, more like some of his
documentary work, than the other two films.<br>At first I
didn’t like it as much as his other films, but these
days it has grown on me and leaves me feeling somehow
very sad - especially because the cult members have
problems in life, but end up being very happy in the cult,
and their relatives are not able to understand them
or to even realize the dangers of the cult and get
them to leave.<br>Tell me what you think about it when
you get a chance to see it.

What is the movie Distance about? I have seen Kore-eda's two other films and I
can't wait to see Distance!

Thanks for stopping by this club!<br>Feel free to
post any thoughts or questions you have about Hirokazu
Kore-eda's films (Maborosi, After Life, documentary work, et
al) - I'd be glad to hear from other people who enjoy
his films.<br>I just had a chance to see his new
movie, Distance, in which four relatives of members of a
doomsday cult, that killed hundreds by poisoning water,
travel to the cult's former mountain retreat to try and
come to terms with the tragedy - only to run into a
surviving member of the cult.<br>The cast includes Arata,
Yusuke Iseya and Susumu Terajima from After Life, and
Tadanobu Asano from Maborosi
