Museum Films is proud to present an exclusive sneak preview of After the Storm, the latest film from celebrated director Hirokazu Kore-eda. Debuting to critical acclaim at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, After the Storm is a thoughtful, heartfelt exploration of the subtle biological and emotional ties that bind families together across generations—even when they feel like they’re growing apart. The film follows Ryota, a once promising novelist turned part-time private eye, whose gambling habit has estranged him from his lovely ex-wife and his shy, watchful son, Shingo. As a summer typhoon brews over the city, Ryota and his recently widowed mother are given an unexpected opportunity to reconnect with those they love, and to ruminate on the past, present, and future. Following in the footsteps of Japanese master filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu, Kore-eda crafts a lovingly detailed family drama with a generous sense of humor and an exquisite feel for the rhythms of everyday life.
Director Hirokazu Kore-eda 2016 Japan 117 minutes NR DCP
