As a fan of The Makioka Sisters, I'm curious about this show now. Thank you for the recommendation!
I recently saw Shoplifters & it touched me deeply. It's not at all what I thought it would be. Would love to read your thoughts on it, if it inspires you to write, that is. (But I think it might...)
I've only seen the first episode, but I loved how different the sisters were. It's a constellation I have no firsthand idea about, but I can still appreciate the family dynamics. Ozu was one of my favorite Japanese directors so the comparison is intriguing. I look forward to seeing the rest of it. I am about to rent Broker, Kore-eda's Korean film which was in competition in Cannes a couple of years ago. As for other recommendations, I loved The Trunk on Netflix. The premise may be a little off-putting at first, but once you accept it, then the series is breathtaking in its minimalist way, so meticulously written and directed, with stunning performances--and co-starring a brutalist home and a quasi carnivorous chandelier.
Have you seen The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House? I love everything about that drama, from the story to the pacing to the "coloring", as my sister who has more knowledge of videos calls it.
