Nobody Knows

Rarely has a kid's-eye view of the adult world been captured with such innocence and insight.

...er af det magiske stof, der minder én om, at film kan være djævelsk gode på en helt anden måde, end man havde forestillet sig.

It is not just a cute kid performance, but real acting, because Kore-eda doesn't give him dialogue and actions to make his thoughts clear, but prefers to observe him observing, coping and deciding.

Kore-eda achieves real poetry with 'Nobody Knows'. Complicated issues become simple, and tragedy is in the eye of the beholder.
