Shoplifters 2018
A family met by accidents, and their bonds glued together through unfortunate incidents.

The Background score was quite amazing with a stellar performance from all the cast members, especially from the small girl.

Fireworks 1997
Hana-bi, a meditative contemplation on love and violence.
Hana-bi, communicates through the silences. A contemplative gaze into the character's sombre, bleak, and preoccupied mind. It communicates through the rich-colored paintings, eye-alluring landscapes, and the bloodbath of violence.
Hana-bi is simple story of a retribution of a cop, yet it is so poetic. It trangresses the medium of storytelling in such a rich, beautiful, and melancholic way that a simple retribution is turned into some mystical journey.
