Can't wait for what
Suzu Hirose does as she is able to do more roles playing adults. In the meantime, the 3 movies I've seen with her and made me immediately hone in on her impeccable talent:
Our Little Sister - Absolutely fell in love with this film. Was my introduction to Suzu too. Should be noted that it's directed by
Hirokazu Kore-eda. Highly respected Japanese director. He directed
Shoplifters in recent years for example, but his notable movies also predate Our Little Sister. Oh yeah, Yoko effin Kanno provides the OST.
Rage - Another movie where I was utterly smitten by Suzu's performance. It's a tough one to watch (I won't spoil). Ryuichi Sakamoto provides the OST. That song in the trailer I provided makes me tear up every time.
The Third Murder - This movie I thought was just ok. Once again Suzu does a great job, but I found this film to be inessential. And it's another
Hirokazu Kore-eda. I think you should turn to some of his other movies before giving this one a try.
Her next major movie where she is starring is
Not Quite Dead Yet. Not sure what to make of it. It's supposed to be a comedy. Can Suzu pull that off? Is the script even good? Guess I'll see if it makes its way outside of Japan at some point.
