Abstract

In  his  first  feature  film, award-winning     director     Kore-eda Hirokazu   (b.   1962)   performs   an elaborate   "dance"  with  the   original short story/novella Maborosi no hikari (Phantom  Lights)  by  Miya-moto  Teru, first  published  in  1979  by  Shinch?publishers and in English translation by Roger  K.  Thomas  (as Phantom  Lights and   Other Stories,  Kurodahan   Press, 2011).  The  intimacy  with  which  the protagonist  narrates  in  the  novel  and the   evocative  power  of   Kore-eda’s mise-en-scène  comple-ment  each  other so that they seem mutual reflections.
