Synopsis
Asura (2025) is a Japanese family drama from Hirokazu Kore-eda you can watch online on iFILM. Tokyo, 1979: four sisters learn their aging father has been keeping a mistress.
The discovery doesn't only expose the father. Behind each sister's polite front sits her own fracture — a cooling marriage, a secret lover, loneliness, envy. They gather, argue, make up and wound one another again as the family's quiet secrets surface one by one. Rie Miyazawa, Machiko Ono, Yu Aoi and Suzu Hirose make up the ensemble.
Kore-eda reworks Kuniko Mukoda's classic teleplay in his trademark key — hushed dinners, things left unsaid, humor laced with hurt. There are no big blowups; the whole storm sits under the table, in the pauses and the glances. For fans of Shoplifters and family films where the important things go unspoken.
