The Japanese movie Sweet Bean by Naomi Kawase – her first in traditional Japanese mode – is a graceful ode to the invisible essence of existence considered beautifully shot and acted, accorded to The New York Times, now playing at Coral Gables Cinema.
Sentaro runs a small bakery that serves dorayakis – pastries filled with sweet red bean paste. When an old lady, Tokue, offers to help in the kitchen he reluctantly accepts. But Tokue proves to have magic in her hands when it comes to making sweet red bean paste. Thanks to her recipe, the little business soon flourishes. With time, Sentaro and Tokue will open their hearts to reveal old wounds.
