Completely agree,

A simple, quiet and wonderful film with a profound and liberating lesson in "living" and how happiness is not necessarily something we need to obtain, rather it can be found in the little things around us everyday if we give ourselves a chance to step back, breathe, observe and soak in the experience that is life.
Kudos to the masterful direction by Wim Wenders who lets the viewer feel Hirayama's world as he sees it, rich in colour, sound and experience, and the nuanced performance by Yakusho Koji who said so much while saying so little; this duo truly created magic together.
Highly highly recommended for all :)

This was one of the first few Japanese films I saw back in the day... so many memories associated with this <3

Ooooh I liked the original J-drama! Can't picture her in the role though..

An extremely violent, gritty, and provocative film about a father piecing together his daughter's life. It's a simple plot but was elevated by an edgy direction and stellar performances by an A1 cast, especially Yakusho Koji and Komatsu Nana. If you enjoy Quentin Tarantino's films, you might enjoy this.
Please watch with caution as this is graphic and disturbing.

Damn he's directed some really dark movies..

These are the ones I remember at the top of my head though there are a lot more -
A Man (2022)
Memories of Matsuko
Traces of Sin
Bump Off Lover
Ito Kun A to E (the drama)
Mukou No Hate
Ichiko

I literally came here to say the same thing! I'm happy to see him back.

I'm glad to see him back!

A heartwarming story of first love set in rural China with a wonderful, soft score and a sincere performance by young Zhang Zi Yi.
A timeless classic for the ages!
Highly highly recommended for all :)

I'm not a fan of Jasmine but the way Chen broke up with her was cruel..
He didn't even have a conversation with her, and just announced his pregnancy with Napat, and then went on to reject her infront of everybody at the press conference.

Other than that, I am surprised by how good this rom-com is! Really enjoying it so far!

SAMEEE! I thought it will finish airing by the time I reach the 14th episode but I didn't expect to like it and binge it at one shot. HAHA
The 3 day wait is killing me.
