Can we choose who to love?

  • Soshite chichi ni naru/Like Father, Like Son Director and screenwriter: Hirokazu Kore-eda Duration: 120 min. Japan, 2013 120 min.

The couple have been given the news as a bomb: His son was replaced by another when he was born six years ago. Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda, who appears to be the starting point of the table leaflet, will reflect on family models and the relationship between parents and children in a beautiful work of Soshite chichi ni naur (Nola egurra, Ezpala hala). The couple will have to decide whether they want to continue with their child, whom they have so far educated and loved, or whether they want to replace it. Are genes more important than the relationship that has developed over six years? What are we really looking for in our children? Can you choose who to love?... Kore-eda raises many personal questions, and calmly, naturally, devours the doubts, emotions and reflections that emerge along the way, without any trace of morality. The principal puts the role of parents on the front line, as everyone will tell you that they just want your son or daughter to be happy, no matter whether it doesn't look like it or doesn't meet your parents' expectations, but it's more complex on a daily basis.

In general terms, the film has been criticized and public from the very beginning of its career. He won the jury’s prize in Cannes and the audience’s prize in the last edition of the San Sebastian Film Festival. After being broadcast in the commercial rooms of the Basque Country, on a few occasions, it is already available on DVD. Steven Spielberg also immediately set up and now wants to make an American version, to see if he doesn't break the embarrassment that the original has left us.

A way of being the Basque Country and understanding its people

We lived in Spanish, in unified Spanish. It's not a pejorative question, not even Jakue Pascual's book, which was written in Spanish. On the contrary. The long title shows very well its existence. Even more so in the title: Free radios, fanzines and occupations.
