For \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaborosi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Kore-eda turns his documentary director's eye on the rugged landscape of the Western Japanese coast, which serves as a starkly sublime backdrop for a tale of one young woman's grievous loss and promise for spiritual renewal. The film draws on the traditions of Japan's past directorial masters Ozu and Mizoguchi, but it's also full of gorgeous moments that are purely Kore-eda's own. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaborosi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e anticipates the director's later narrative filmmaking masterpieces \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter Life\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNobody Knows\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, as well as featuring an early performance from international star Asano Tadanobu (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIchi the Killer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e).\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwentysomething Yumiko (Esumi Makiko,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePistol Opera\u003c\/i\u003e) and her husband Ikuo (Asano) live in a small, run-down apartment in Osaka with their infant son.
