A Study On: Hirokazu Koreeda Directors’ Style In "Still Walking"

As one of the key players in Japanese cinema in recent years,director Hirokazu Koreeda has always maintained a distance not far from the mainstream aesthetic.He is concerned about the current state of human relationships that are happening all the time in Japanese society but did not attract any attention.In addition,because of the influence of Taiwan director Hou Hsiao-hsien,the images of Hirokazu Koreeda are frequently compared with those of Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Jia Zhangke.However,there is no systematic study of this director at home and abroad and therefore it is of great research value.Still Walking used exquisite techniques to explore the essence of life that needs gentleness.Through a family reunion,the story accurately captures the precious feelings of family members.The author’s cinema movie Departure from the Coast made a study and reference on the selection of theme,audio-visual language and performer’s performance on the movie Still Walking by Hirokazu Koreeda at the same time carried on a certain degree of continuity in the director’s style and innovation.
