broad request for suggestions: recent Japanese films

[Peter Larson]

I would put Kore-eda's "Nobody Knows" on that list.

Itami's "Tampopo" for its humor and superb
introduction to the Japanese's fascination for food as
well as manners in the 1980s, Miyazaki's "Totoro" as
representative of his art, Otomo's "Akira" and
Hideaki's "Neon Genesis Evangelion" as examples of
influential anime, and Kore-eda's "Distance" for its
sensitive reflection on Japanese and religions would
be on my list of important films from the last twenty
years. I think some of them will qualify as classics
even twenty years from now.
   Best,
