I've seen many Kore-eda films, but until tonight never watched his debut Maborosi (幻の光, illusion of light, or trick of the light - the relevance of the title only becomes apparent right at the end of the film) .
It's utterly sad and utterly beautiful, and some of the scenes are both so understated but also so incredibly powerful that you'll remember them for a long time.
