You can't mention Kore-eda without mentioning After Life (1998), surely? (Confusingly called Wonderful Life in Japanese, and also I don't mean the Gervais series.)

There's a recent US "remake"/homage which I haven't dared to watch.

Yess! So good too. We could probably just recommend all his films

I’d say he is my favorite contemporary director.

The only american director I’d consider right now is Terrence Malick. I just hope his Jesus film gets released…

I love Kore-eda but it took me many attempts to get through After Life. I'm really glad it wasn't my first Kore-eda film. I find it terribly boring.
