Chronicle of My Mother

"Chronicle of My Mother" is a poignant family drama that explores the complex relationships within a family. The film follows the journey of Kosaku Igami, a successful writer who has built his career by using his family as inspiration, but has neglected his own family in the process. When his mother, the vibrant matriarch of the family, is diagnosed with dementia, Kosaku must confront his long-simmering resentments and come to terms with the toll his behavior has taken on his family. With the help of his daughter, Kosaku sets out to mend his relationships and understand his mother's true feelings. Evocative of classic Ozu, this beautifully crafted film offers a powerful and moving portrayal of familial love and the fragility of memory.
