Koreeda is my favorite director.
In his 1995 film Maboroshi (no Hikari) he depicted grief and loss with exquisite beauty.
The US version apparently does not have the film quality of the Japanese digital transfer (so the colors don't come out as faithfully as intended from the original cellulose) which is a bummer given the director's exclusive use of natural light and attention to the smallest of detail in every scene. (there is a french film term for it I forget).
Can't wait to see this one.
There was a pair of real life South African couples who went through this when the children were toddlers. They decided to slowly switch them back by starting with shared custody so the boys would grow up like brothers and then have the biological child start spending more time with the biological parents.
(and I have something irritating my eyes)
