Keiichi Kobayashi’s debut feature offers a glimpse of teenage life in Japan, mining rare truths: the bittersweet taste of youth, female friendship, suburban ennui.

I, Daniel Blake opens in NYC

A portrait of a carpenter simply fighting for his pension, Ken Loach’s 26th film, I, Daniel Blake marks the apotheosis of his unique brand of social-realist cinema: to give a voice, a lens, to the poor and forsaken, the small struggles of ordinary people, who know no fame nor glamor nor glory. It won the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
