Preview: Still Walking (2009)

Synopsis:

Gathering to celebrate the death of a lost sibling, the Yokoyama family meet to exchange stories and explore life through them.

• Poster: C

Review:

Significantly bland, lacking in creativity and sadly uninteresting. With the film looking more passionate and interesting, it's hard to believe such a lifeless poster would accompany it.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

Looking as if it will masterfully explore difficult life experiences, the film feels passionate and sorrowful with measures of humor and drama.

Oscar Prospects:

Japan could be on a hot streak after winning the foreign lingo prize with Departures. The resurgence of Japanese cinema could be embodied in another nomination for this film this year.

Release Date:

• August 28, 2009
