Yureru (2006)

Yureru: Directed by Miwa Nishikawa. With Joe Odagiri, Teruyuki Kagawa, Masatô Ibu, Hirofumi Arai. On the anniversary of the death of the mother of a hip and happening Tokyo-based photographer, the son returns to his hometown for the funeral. What follows is a return to the past that is more than just a trek home. Old relationships, love, conflicts and memories resurface and collide. Apparently, old perspectives don’t wither.

“The movie starts really slow, and it has this gloomy tone of story. it would not appeal to viewers who choose faster and brighter mood. the story itself is built quite carefully and shown from various point of view. it has a good way of showing the swaying bond between the main characters. about how the brotherhood turns into rivalry and at the end there was only regret. psychologically intense. the acting was good, the plot is okay. i personally enjoy this movie”
