My Take
I have a soft spot for directors like Nobuhiro Yamashita, the kind who'd rather catch a small awkward silence between two people than chase some big dramatic payoff. He came up through the slacker-comedy indie scene with films like Linda Linda Linda and Tamako in Moratorium, and what I love is how he trusts the everyday to be funny and a little sad all on its own, no shouting required. There's a deadpan patience to his stuff, an Aichi kid who went to Osaka to learn film and then just quietly kept making humane, low-key movies for decades. He's a craftsman, not a showman, and honestly that's the kind of filmmaker I end up rooting for hardest. Give me his unhurried, lived-in worlds any day.
