IFC Center – 323 6th Avenue (at W. 3rd Street)
Admission: $16/$13 seniors and children
IFC Center presents a comprehensive retrospective of Hirokazu Kore-Eda, the award-winning Japanese director known for his beautifully rendered and deliberately paced stories of the human condition. To celebrate the opening of The Truth — his first film shot outside his native Japan — Family Portraits: The Films of Hirokazu Kore-Eda will show moviegoers the depth of the filmmaker’s career.
From his first feature, the Venice award-winner Maborosi (1995), Kore-Eda’s films have garnered worldwide acclaim, praised for their deep empathy and their complex sense of family relationships.
Program highlights include After Life (1998), his first international hit; Cannes prize-winning works Nobody Knows (2004, Best Actor), Like Father, Like Son (2013, Jury Prize), and Shoplifters (2018, Palme d’Or); rare early works; and more.
