Hirokazu Koreeda's I Wish (2011)
Asian Cinema Film Reviews Hirokazu Koreeda JapanCinema.net Japanese Cinema
Hirokazu Koreeda has once again
masterfully constructed another family drama but this time, centered around two
brothers who are separated by their parents disintegrating marriage in I Wish.
The film is about the powerful notion of family unity as well as the inevitable
deterioration and the painful yet calming freedom that comes from it. The
original title is Kiseki ("Miracle") and it is a miracle the two
brothers, Koichi and Ryu, played by real-life brothers Koki and Ohshiro Maeda
wishes for in order to reunite their family. The parents part ways leaving the
mom, Nozomi (Nene Ohtsuka) to return to living with her parents with Koichi in
her hometown of Kagoshima in which an silent volcano is at the possible cusps
of eruption. Meanwhile the father, Kenji stays in Osaka with Ryu to pursue his
laid-lack lifestyle of trying to maintain day jobs while attempting to be a
guitarist in a band.
