DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hirokazu Koreeda → Japan

His films like 'Tokyo Story' and 'Like Father, Like Son' profoundly explore the complexities of filial duty, generational bonds, and what it truly means to honor and understand one's parents.

Akira Kurosawa → Japan

In works such as 'Late Spring' and 'Ikiru,' Kurosawa examines the sacrifices parents make and the moral obligations children face in caring for aging parents with reverence and compassion.

Ang Lee → Taiwan

His film 'Eat Drink Man Woman' delicately navigates the tension between respecting traditional parental authority and the evolving needs of both generations in modern families.
