We already have this first poster for the film, which makes the whole thing look like a “Hallmark Movie.” Of course, it’s just a poster. As mentioned earlier, Kore-eda’s last film, “Shoplifters,” won the Palme d’Or last year — it ended up grossing $3.3 million in the U.S, and $69.4 million abroad, for a worldwide total of $72.7 million (I’m sure its budget couldn’t be more a million dollars). Regardless, this was the “I told you so!” moment for Kore-eda’s fans, many of whom have been praising the 57-year-old director’s works since his 1995 breakthrough “Maborosi” Yes, Kore-eda is not a spring chicken, he’s been at the game now for almost 30 years, releasing well-praised movies such as “After Life,” “Still Walking,” “Like Father Like Son” and “After the Storm” in the process, but he never truly hit the big time until that surprise Cannes win last year. Here’s hoping “The Truth” is a great movie. Contribute Hire me
