Snippet:
Japanese directors who film in foreign settings with non-Japanese actors deserve credit for stepping outside their cultural comfort zones. But Hirokazu Koreeda’s “The Truth” (2019) and Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s “Daguerreotype” (2016) — both shot in France — do not rank anywhere near the top of their distinguished filmographies.
