a triumph of japanese filmography . stand aside kurosawa you have be better . fantastic script and plot a real family must see . i think the complete realisticness be particularly superb . i must comment on the outstanding acting which although must have be do under lot of distraction never waver and continue to excel throughout . the story and script be write in such a way that you feel unable to tear yourself away from the screen . i will not go into detail so i avoid spoil it for people but the very first scene be superb and set the high of standard for the rest of the film to follow . surprisingly it achieve this and more through the course of the film and the subtle story be cleverly reveal bit by bit .
