well rie miyazawa has proven she "kills" those roles...i love her acting...i STILL think, in my perhaps limited frame of reference, she is the best female actress in japan...

info on the director...


"Nobody Knows" is the fourth feature film directed by Hirozaku Kore-eda. The first,"Maborosi," won the Golden Osella at the 1995 Venice Film Festival. His highly successful follow-up, 1999fs gAfter-life,h is currently being adapted into an American film by 20th Century Fox.

Born in Tokyo in 1962, Kore-eda graduated from the Literature Department of Waseda University in 1987. He joined TV Man Union, an independent television production company, where he directed many prize-winning documentaries. Among them are "However...," a film exploring the suicide of a top government official responsible for the welfare of Minamata mercury poisoning victims, "Another Education," about a class of rural elementary school children whose education is centered around raising a single calf, "August Without Him," a portrait of the first Japanese man to publicly announce his contraction of AIDS, and gWithout Memory,h a portrait of a man no longer able to acquire new memories.

Kore-eda is currently working on "Hana Yori Mo Naho," his first period film. Set in the Edo era, "Hana Yori Mo Naho" will explore the world of swordsmen and revenge.

I have seen Kore-eda's After Life, and I thought it was very moving, very sincere. It will be interesting to see how he tackles a period movie. There have been several excellent period movies made in the past few years after a long drought of no good jidaigeki/chambara films.
As for Miyazawa being the best female actress in Japan, a strong case can be made for that. Her string of performances in recent years have drawn universal critical praise. I don't think any actress regularly working in dorama today can touch her screen presence and acting skills (the one that comes the closest, imo, is Eri Fukatsu). Let's hope Ms. Miyazawa remains healthy and is able to have a long career.

fortunately her movies have generated enough interest that independent film houses usually screen them here, eventually....as was the case with Tasogare Seibei and Tony Takatani.

Rie is extremely photogenic also..definitely one of Japan's best film actresses.

That's interesting. On an earlier posting I wrote that Miyazawa reminded me a lot of Audrey Hepburn. Schneider, Hepburn, Miyazawa: beautiful, classy women and superb actresses.

she's in full bloom now. :fingerscrossed:
