    @mario@neko.cat For me, Kore-eda&#39;s specialness is in the observed humanity of everyday characters. This perhaps comes from his early background in documentary filmmaking. I think that is why he&#39;s compared to Ozu,( but prefers Ken Loach as an influence.) I believe he also allows his actors a lot of freedom. Which might be possible to the now almost unique position in commercial films of being director / writer / editor / producer for almost all his films.

    Also, in relation to a recent thread by @AnthoDerv@famichiki.jp it uses romaji rather than furigana or hiragana. However the example sentences are given with kanji. It wasn&#39;t revised to use kana instead. (or have a toggle setting for readings like Kodansha Kanji Learners Dictionary iOS edition) Not that I could see it as a textbook for a student who is reluctant to use kana. The advanced volume just uses Japanese with some furigana.
