I Wish

Japanese writer and director Hirokazu Koreeda returns to the world of children with another keenly observed and profound film. Two brothers separated after the divorce of their parents hope that a new bullet train service will help them to reunite their family. Koreeda has a special gift in creating simple but profound stories about the human condition through universal relationships that will resonate beyond culture and language full of magical moments. There's not one false beat in this film where all the characters and location feel authentic providing a unique insight into the Japanese contemporary culture. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
