Still Walking (2009)

Wow. I suck at blogging. Or do I? Who says how this should be done anyway?

Still Walking was amazing, and easily made my top 10 list for 2009. Meditative, melancholy, and at times unnerving, specifically the scene towards the middle of the film involving the family's dinner guest. I've read many great things about Koreeada's Afterlife, which I've netflixed, and after reading Ebert's review of Still Walking, in which he argues Koreeada's heirship to Yasujiro Ozu, I realize I must finally see Tokyo Story. I missed it at a Ozu marathon a few years back in Baltimore, and now, after hearing the stylistic comparisons to Koreeada's work, I must watch Ozu posthaste.
