Saw a gem of a film the other day Umoregi. A 2006 Japanese film directed by Kôhei Oguri who has all the grace of Yasujiro Ozu and comes recommended by the master of portraying the Japanese soul, Yoji Yamada. The film feels more like portraits of various lives in one small town but it does so with such fantastic imagery. They are nostalgic snapshots of places and lives yet it's a world that feels original in the way Hayao Miyazaki films create nostalgic worlds with a bit of magic.
