Cannes: 4 Clips From Hirokazu Koreeda’s ‘After The Storm’

The Cannes Film Festival is going to have plenty of auteurs swaggering their way around the Croisette this year, but one filmmaker who tends to keep things pretty humble is Hirokazu Koreeda. There’s no explicit sex or bursts of graphic violence,  instead, his movies are packed with quiet moments of devastating emotion, which makes “After The Storm” one to look out for.

Hiroshi Abe, Kirin Kiki, Yoko Maki, Taiyo Yoshizawa, Sosuke Ikematsu, Lily Franky, Satomi Kobayashi, and Isao Hashizume are the players in this film that centers on a divorced man, a former writer and current private detective, who tries to reconnect with his ex-wife and son, and gets an unlikely chance to do just that. Here’s the official synopsis:

Dwelling on his past glory as a prize-winning author, Ryota (Hiroshi Abe) wastes the money he makes as a private detective on gambling and can barely pay child support. After the death of his father, his aging mother (Kirin Kiki) and beautiful ex-wife (Yoko Maki) seem to be moving on with their lives. Renewing contact with his initially distrusting family, Ryota struggles to take back control of his existence and to find a lasting place in the life of his young son (Taiyo Yoshizawa) — until a stormy summer night offers them a chance to truly bond again.
