MOVIES: Like Father Like Son

The next series of film screenings at The Japan Foundation, Toronto is called “Kore-eda + Kiki” which celebrates the accomplishments of master filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda and also of the prolific actress Kirin Kiki who sadly passed away in September.
The Japan Foundation will be screening three films by master filmmaker Kore-eda – two of which includes Kirin Kiki in the cast. Kiki was a frequent collaborator in his films, including Shoplifters, her last film, which won Kore-eda the prestigious Palme D’Or at Cannes earlier this year.
