Japanese film director Hirokazu Kore-eda has earned his reputation as a leading figure in contemporary world cinema.
His films are often an exploration of relationships, showing how life is never simple, observing culture and examining modern-day society.
The Showroom revisits the director's work with Of Flesh and Blood, a selection of their favourite Kore-eda titles: a perfect introduction for anyone unfamiliar, or for those who want to see these films once again on the big screen.
If you see every film here, you'll be all the better for it – watch this master director's work leading up to the 2019 BAFTA and Oscar nominated film Shoplifters.
