{"product_id":"9781844574810","title":"Hirokazu Koreeda","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of contemporary filmmaking's most distinctive voices, Kore-eda Hirokazu is renowned for his graceful and humanistic portraits of modern-day family life. From \u003ci\u003eMaborosi \u003c\/i\u003e(1995) and \u003ci\u003eNobody Knows\u003c\/i\u003e (2004) to the Palme d'Or-winning \u003ci\u003eShoplifters\u003c\/i\u003e (2018) and \u003ci\u003eMonster \u003c\/i\u003e(2023), Kore-eda's films are marked by a restrained, contemplative style that reveal the extraordinary within the everyday. Covering all sixteen feature films, this study provides a nuanced overview of Kore-eda's filmmaking across three decades.\u003cbr\u003eThrough close readings of key works including \u003ci\u003eAfter Life\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), \u003ci\u003eStill Walking\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), \u003ci\u003eAfter the Storm\u003c\/i\u003e (2016) and \u003ci\u003eBroker\u003c\/i\u003e (2022), Jacoby shows how Kore-eda reshapes a cinematic tradition associated with Yasujiro Ozu to reflect the uncertainties of modern Japan. Attuned to questions of memory, loss and belonging, Kore-eda's cinema offers a quietly radical vision of family, where care and choice matter as much as blood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059319062768,"sku":"9781844574810","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781844574810_p0.jpg?v=1769838310","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781844574810","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
