Covering all sixteen feature films, this study provides a nuanced overview of Kore-eda's filmmaking across three decades.\u003cbr\u003eThrough close readings of key works including \u003ci\u003eAfter Life\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), \u003ci\u003eStill Walking\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), \u003ci\u003eAfter the Storm\u003c\/i\u003e (2016) and \u003ci\u003eBroker\u003c\/i\u003e (2022), Jacoby shows how Kore-eda reshapes a cinematic tradition associated with Yasujiro Ozu to reflect the uncertainties of modern Japan. Attuned to questions of memory, loss and belonging, Kore-eda's cinema offers a quietly radical vision of family, where care and choice matter as much as blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAlexander Jacoby\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in Film Studies at Oxford Brookes University, UK where he teaches contemporary Japanese cinema.
