Hirokazu Kore-eda on Still Walking | BFI Q&A

Director Hirokazu Kore-eda visits the BFI Southbank to talk about his 2008 family drama, Still Walking.
In Still Walking a group of grown children visit their elderly parents, one summer day. The aging parents have lived in the family home for decades. Their son and daughter return for a rare family reunion, bringing their own families with them. They have gathered to commemorate the tragic death of the eldest son, who drowned in an accident fifteen years ago. Although the roomy house is as comforting and unchanging as the mother's homemade feast, everyone in the family has subtly changed. This is a typical dysfunctional family, bonded by love as well as resentments and secrets.

I'm actually really taken aback by the translator. She does such a phenomenal job replicating emotion. She even uses pauses to sound organic.

This man is an absolute legend

Great interview, and the translator does a phenomenal job! Her translation is perfect.

Also seemed kind of flirty as well lol

Koreeda emotionally talking about Kirin made me emotional as well. Amazing friendship. I love his work!

theworldsoutside.com/2020/02/01/my-desert-island-japanese-films/ From a strictly personal perspective, I put together a collection of my favourite Japanese films. Koreeda shows up more than once! Check it out if you're interested. I'm writing not as a film theorist, merely as an appreciative fan who's lived in Japan.

Lewis Mills thank you for the blog write-up

[@loull_aroll]

Notice how Eda-san poured water for the translator first then himself. What a humble man!

[@burgesssam]

Love how he really thinks about and takes time with his responses. Seem like three great people on stage, thanks for the wonderful Q&A!

[@mariannepoppas3576]

Loved this interview. Kore-eda is the master of depicting authentic characters who are on the margins.

Great great Interview, and have never seen such a wonderful translator. Big round of applause for her!

[@aaronooi8409]

He answered all the questions very thoughtfully and mulled over it like chewing over a delicate bento

[@athulkrishnakp2620]

Translator is awesome

In memory of Kirin San. Beautiful interview after ten years of the film's making.

El maestro actual del cine japonés. No hay otro humanista tan grande como él actualmente en el cine.

المترجمة ينرفع لها قبعة والله. حبيت تجسيدها له، وحتى طريقة ترجمتها وتفسيرها لكلامه. على الرغم من اني مافهم ولا اي شي باليابانية، هي وصلتها لي بسهوله وسلاسة من لغةٍ جسدها، وترجمتها الوافية. بطله بكل ماتعنيه الكلمه والله. وكوريدا… شهادتي فيه مجروحه والله.

[@amarlimboo2484]

💚💚His works are evergreen!

[@prity777]

Thank you very much for the content / upload ^^

[@charlienewbold9809]

I really like Micheal Leader (of course) and the translator here is really excellent. Allows this to feel truly like a meaningful conversation.

[@caitlinmford]

Even though this interview only has a third person to serve as a translator between two distinct languages, a three person interview creates such an interesting dynamic that it makes me wonder if interviews should more often have a third person to serve as a translator even when only one language is being spoken, similarly to some late night shows.

He is very cute
