Although it might seem the amount of family drama would result in a certain over-saturation of the market, the sub-genres tendency to touch upon issues of personal as well as national identity along with a wide range of social themes, make the family unit one of the most lasting metaphors of our time. Within the last couple of years, international audiences have seen the various facets of said metaphor, for example, in Hirokazu Kore-eda’s highly successful “Shoplifters”, which also shed a light to the “invisible” members of our society and their problems. In that regard, Michio Koshikawa’s feature “After the Sunset” has to be seen in a similar light, as the story of the film deals with family issues, while its themes of identity may reflect a much wider search for identity and the re-affirmation of the concept of home.
