Just saw the magnificent "After Life" by Hirokazu Koreeda. This was my third film by him (also saw Maboroshi and Nobody Knows), and he's just become my third favorite Japanese director, right after Mamoru Oshi and akira Kurosawa. The film sometimes reminded me of a sensibility resembling Hou Hsiao-hsien, which is one of the biggest compliments a film can get from me. 
Personal favorite, comments to follow.

What was it with Naruse again? Still haven't seen any of his films, btw.
