Kabei: Our Mother (2008)

Set in Tokyo in 1940, the peaceful life of the Nogami Family suddenly changes when the father, Shigeru, is arrested and accused of being a Communist. His wife Kayo works frantically from morning to night to maintain the household and bring up her two daughters with the support of Shigeru's sister Hisako and Shigeru's ex-student Yamazaki, but her husband does not return. WWII breaks out and casts dark shadows on the entire country, but Kayo still tries to keep her cheerful determination, and sustain the family with her love. This is an emotional drama of a mother and an eternal message for peace.

Sayuri Yoshinaga delivers a credible and heartrending performance as a mother who struggles to keep her family afloat in this Japanese period drama set during WW II. Melodramatic yes, but also compelling and engaging.

A really touching movie about Japanese and war in 1940s... War, what is for?

This quiet and understated tearjerker hits the right notes without overkill, like director Yamada's skill. While meandering at times, the strong performances and characters still attract, and it all ends off on a rather unexpected, but very human coda. Not his best, but very good nonetheless.

Yamada is famous for doing the "slow" movie. Quite frankly this was a little bit too slow for myself. Sure, the acting was superb from all parts but the story was not that compelling to me. I could watch Tadanobu sit around and watch birds for half an hour and I think it would be good. However, his hitting the head into things and balling character in this did not work for me. Still, Yamada is one of the great Japanese directors.

This is not a story about lamenting the inevitability of time but rather of living in denial.
