In Nobody Knows Kore-eda employs devices from both fiction films and documentaries to tell a shocking story of a family’s fate. Keiko is a single mother who moves into a small apartment in Tokyo with her four children, all from different fathers. They live isolated but happily with their mother, until she one day disappears. Left to themselves and forced to live in hiding in the apartment, the siblings construct a separate universe, with bleak undercurrents. The knowledge that Nobody Knows is based on a true story makes the film experience even more powerful. akek

Helt fantastisk. Så tragisk og samtidig så vakkert. En film som virkelig bekrefter Kore-edas posisjon som en av Japans (og dermed verdens) beste.
Festivalens beste for meg - så langt.
