or Dare mo shiranai, an achingly poignant japanese film from '04 about forgotten children and lost childhood.
A mother abandons her four children, leaving them to fend for themselves in a urban appartment.
The film is candid, realist, with astonishhing performances by non-actor kids, especially the 12 year old eldest who tries his best to keep things together, unsuccessfully.
Really worth watching.

The same director, Hirokazu Koreeda, has two other very, very good films: - tinear 07:34:50 03/06/12 (1)
"After Life" and "Maborisi."
I haven't seen any of his others, but these three place him in very elite company, indeed.
