This is the first feature film of my favorite japanese director, Koreeda-sensei. Everyone have already said it, the cinematography is really beautiful. No one can deny this. Its a feast for our eyes. Its so freaking epicly beautiful. But you know, for a movie, I prefer story more than cinematography. I've watched all of Koreeda-sensei movies, love all of them except Distance & After Life that I find so boring. I really really love Still Walking, After the Storm & Shoplifter. I hope his new movie, The Truth is good too. Its sounds stupid to compare his first movie with later movies because he is surely improve over time. For Maborosi, I get it that he wants us to understand the wife's feeling. I get it. But for me, its like 80% silence documentary about seashore, 20% story. Wonder how the novel is.
