Abstract

In the late 1990s, Hirokazu Kore-eda was praised as the embodiment of the "new wave of Japanese cinema." From the earliest "Magic Light" which won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, to the widely spread "Walk" and then to the Palme d 'Or winner "Shoplifters", all of these prove that this Oriental director full of life philosophy has brought his lifelong thinking about life and death, family and society into his plain and warm works, which have great research value. This paper will discuss the screen structure of "Our Little Sister", starting from the audio-visual language, narrative structure, and spiritual core that the director wants to convey. It can be concluded that the film "Our Little Sister", directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, has a warm, natural, fresh, and lively image style that is delicate and close to life.
