154. Nobody knows (2004)


Country: Japan
Directed by Hirokazu Koreeda

Koreeda is one of the most important contemporary Japanese directors and in this movie is obvious why. The film is impressively realistic and minimal, with images and performances of the actors so natural that you forget the filming camera, with a plot that is unrolled with very balanced way and a drama that goes to its peak smoothly as the film not need over sentimentalism to be touching. With a few words,  is a such powerful movie that since you begin to watch it you get involved and worried about the fate of the children characters as you could do with living persons. The film avoids to make direct social comments or to give a depth to the story that narrates, adding to it some additional background: however watching these abandoned children to try hard to survive ,without anybody to knows but in reality without anybody to care to notice, avoidable leads to a loud conclusion that puts the blame on society
