Umi yori mo mada fukaku (After the storm)
Crit
Yes, there's a storm--typhoon number 24 for the year, to be specific--but Hirokazu Koreeda's film is mostly irenic. Cloudy, to be sure--as Ryōta (Hiroshi Abe), a long-ago-award-winning novelist who now would be making enough as a slightly crooked private eye if only he didn't gamble so much of it away, sees his ex-wife and son being wooed by a conventionally better man--but quiet and satisfying, not tempestuous.
