Kore-eda film 'The Truth' to open Venice Film Festival

Must be a heck of a film.

I can't wait to see this - everything he has made has been remarkable, memorable, and thought-provoking. Japan should be proud to have produced such a talent.

Best Japanese director working today, he's taken over the role of Itami Juzo in making socially relevant dramas about real people.

Thought he was very brave to do 'shoplifters' and he took some punches below the belt from politicians and the ordinary man/women in the streets
