'Imagine the things you can't see:' Hirokazu Kore-eda on 'Sheep in the Box'

For most of his career, Hirokazu Kore-eda has spoken in glances and silences. His hallmark has been the naturalistic study of frayed, unlikely families — whether they be the left-behind kids of "Nobody Knows," the bereaved parents of "Still Walking," or the petty thieves living as kin in the Palme d'Or-winning "Shoplifters" — that silently hold together as much as they fall apart. The Japanese auteur's latest is a more speculative, high-concept proposition. "Sheep in the Box" steps right up to t

Young voters gather to challenge election results

On Sunday morning in southern Seoul, the scene did not look like the election-related rallies South Korea has grown used to in recent years. A crowd had gathered outside the SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium, where ballot boxes from Jamsil 7-dong’s second polling station were brought for vote counting after a ballot paper shortage was reported there. Young men and women stood alongside parents with babies and children, while a few US flags were visible among those calling for a rerun of Wednesday’s

It promises a highly cathartic blend of action and social commentary, centered on officials who intervene when conventional systems fail to protect victims. Yet the conversation surr

Voting in South Korea’s local elections began at 6 a.m. Wednesday, kicking off a nationwide vote that will shape local leadership for the next four years.

Families name slain loved ones to keep cases from fading

The parents of Lee Chae-won, a 17-year-old high school student killed in a stabbing attack on Children’s Day, have shared their daughter’s story with local media this week. Lee was described as a kindhearted teenager who dreamed of becoming a paramedic.

Her parents are among a growing number of bereaved families who have voluntarily revealed the ident
