Kirin Kiki

Kirin Kiki worked twice each with two directors among her seventeen films here: in Hirokazu Kore-eda's Shoplifters and After the Storm, and in Naomi Kawase's Sweet Bean and Hanezu. The Asian Film Awards gave her Lifetime Achievement at its 10th ceremony; the card names her and not a film, and nothing is entered in its film column. The same archive counts Shoplifters as the best film of the 13th ceremony. Two years separate her two jobs with Kore-eda. The oldest film she has here is from 1974 and the newest from 2018, so the seventeen are spread over forty-four years. The highest vote count belongs to The Secret World of Arrietty, with Shoplifters behind it.
