A conversation with Kiyoshi Kurosawa

wow, just had a one on one conversation with renowned Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa today. It was really a nice and insightful conversation and Kurosawa san was definitely a friendly and faithful person.

I had talked to quite some Chinese directors and also Korean directors before, but this is the first time I was having an in-depth (not really in depth in a sense considering the time) talk with a Japanese director, especially an internationally acclaimed master, so it was really exciting and rewarding.

The interview was done for Cinespot and Kurosawa san talked about his film Tokyo Sonata, his favorite actor Yakusho Koji and some more... it'll be up on the site very soon.

I greatly appreciate Karen/Leo for arranging it and Taro Goto from sfiaaff to be our interpreter... thanks guys!

remember to check out tokyo sonata, one of my favorite movies of the year, at sfiaaff starting this weekend!

my souvenir, too bad i only got the hk version dvd...!
