In many ways, Still Life reminded me of a Japanese version of an Ingmar Bergman film--especially Fanny & Alexander. It was very observant of the unspoken tension in a typical, middle-class Japanese f... amily. I liked everythikng about his film. I liked how there weren't any blowups as there usually are in American movies, such as Home For The Holidays, On Golden Pond, etc. This is a slow and deliberate film, but wise with something profound to say. In many ways a successor to an Ozu film. If you don't mind that, then I highly recommend Stil Walking. If you haven't already seen it--check out the director's previous film, Nobody Knows. Equally fantastic. Full Review

Even though "Still Walking" is the story of a Japanese family's inter-generational conflicts, the themes it taps into are so universal that virtually anyone can find their own family in this... movie. Bittersweet at times, cleverly witty at others, by the end of the film you'll be wishing it could go on much longer. I laughed out loud at the fat family friend who almost knocked over the dinner table when he stood up. Anybody who has ever had in-law problems will love this gem of a film. Go see it! Full Review
