Sweet Bean ("An") left me with two strong impressions: an appreciation of the subtle critique on discrimination against leprosy sufferers and a craving for dorayaki. I'll never look at a can of sweet beans the same way again.

'Sweet Bean' is a bittersweet story about kindness and human connection, but also about abandonment and how prejudice stigmatises and isolates people. Mainly though, it's a gentle story about three people, each dealing with their own loneliness and baggage, whose lives at some point interconnect, and the way they manage to find meaning in the simple things and leave a lasting impact on each other. Really beautiful film.

On the surface, this simple Japanese story is another of a slew of recent films where working and making food is the story. Although the title is An or Sweet Bean and the main focus of the early part of the film is making a delicious ‘an’ and the specific way you make it, but this is only a smal More
