As we have witnessed extensively during the last few years in (Asian) festivals around the world, the Japanese indie movie industry is filled with films of quality, despite the lack of significant funding. However, as family dramas have always been one of the main “cells” of the industry and Hirokazu Koreeda has come to be its “most” renowned voice in the rest of the world, his style has dominated the field significantly, to the point that there is an increasingly number of movies that look very much alike, both in terms of story and presentation. Ryo Katayama’s debut feature film, despite being also of the category, is a distinct effort to stray away from the aforementioned form, by following a different path that shares some similarities with “Destruction Babies” and a setting much reminiscent of “Ken and Kazu” (or Kim Ki-duk’s “Pieta” one could say).
