By now it’s widely acknowledged that Japanese director Kore-eda Hirokazu is a master. Although he’s made all sorts of films, from the high-concept fantasy After Life (1998) to the boy-meets-blowup-doll tale Air Doll(2009) and the gentle samurai film Hana (2006), it was with his trio of “family” films Nobody Knows(2004), Still Walking (2008) and I Wish (2011) that people started comparing him to Japanese legend Yasujiro Ozu and accorded him that status.
