Like Asura (18)

In the winter of 1979, the four Takezawa sisters reunite after discovering their aging father’s secret love affair. Choosing to shield their mother, Fuji, from the truth, each of the quartet’s personal problems and secrets also come to light.

Based on the acclaimed 1979 NHK drama of the same name, Yoshimitsu Morita (The Family Game, Haru), one of Japan’s most renowned directors, skilfully and sensitively portrays the emotional depth of each character, exploring the idea that human beings possess many faces and harbour complex, often conflicting emotions. A timeless film.
