ACF 1496: Happy Birthday, Hirokazu Koreeda; Happy Birthday To You
Japanese film director Hirokazu Koreeda was born on June 6, 1962 in Tokyo. He is perhaps best known in the West for Nobody Knows (2004), Hana: The Tale of a Reluctant Samurai (2006), Still Walking (2008), and I Wish (2011). My personal favorite is Air Doll (2009), which stars BAE Doona. (For my review of Air Doll, click here.)
So Happy ACF Birthday Wishes to Hirokazu Koreeda. Many happy returns, too.
