So beautiful, sensitive and poetic film about feelings, prejudice, deepness, empathy, friendship. Also one of the very best films about food ever made. The best of Japanese cinema (my favourite Japanese movie so far) aims on simplicity, on listening to the nature, on being careful and precise, delicate, just as we expect from Japan, but with no stereotype. Filming is great, script is deep and simple, and all actors do a fantastic job. Particularly, Kirin Kiki had a top level performance as if she graciously levitated above mortals, and Masatoshi Nagase portrayed grief and severity with truth. Well, now... where can I find a dorayaki?! 😋🍘🎌
