This is a beautiful study of a family going through a process of awakening. The rituals and bonds forged of growing up together twist and unfold into a new arrangement. Each actor is given a whole character to draw, and they do it well. The story has some surprises but is always very real. It is complex enough that watching it the second time you see a lot of things that are significant which just passed unnoticed the first time. Oh, and the food is to die for (excepting the soup cauldron...).
If you are expecting a thriller or a mystery, this is only mildly mysterious and not at all thrilling. That is not the point.
The DVD is well made with beautiful colors and has nice sound. The English subtitling is mostly well chosen and timed.
I'll probably watch this again, it is one of my favorites.
