I've already said a few times this year how much I like Kiyoshi Kurosawa's work. This is his latest and it's just beautiful. Like his other films it's quite and subtle, but this time there are no horror or dark genre elements, it's a straight forward drama about a japanese family and what happens when the father loses his job.

It's a little unpredictable and, again, I probably don't know enough about the social climate of Japan to understand all the statements it makes subtextually but I still enjoyed this sweet and melancholy little drama.
