This new Blu-ray collection combines four career-defining titles by Palme d'Or winning director Hirokazu Koreeda – one of Japanese cinema’s most celebrated auteurs. The set features his austerely beautiful debut Maborosi and lyrical fantasy After Life, alongside Nobody Knows and Still Walking, films that cemented Koreeda's reputation as an heir to Ozu and a chronicler of the modern Japanese family.
Available on Blu-ray for the very first time in the UK, the four films included in Of Flesh and Blood: The Cinema of Hirokazu Koreeda celebrate the richness, diversity, beauty and humanity of the director’s work and essential viewing for fans of contemporary world cinema.
