"I can't do it with realism" world

　"20, 30 years later, maybe a long time will be left for a long time. I have to receive" baptism "for that."

　The screening has been on long run since August 2007.At the end of 2001, he won a series of film awards in various parts of the United States, and the spectator mobilization was given."Thanks to the award that the number of screenings is increasing. I thought it would not sell so much in Japan because it was a complicated movie, so I would be very grateful if I found and evaluated some film festivals.I did. So I hoped that the audience would go to the cinema, but it would be so expanded. It is particularly surprising that it will be evaluated in the United States. "

　The producer was asked to make a novel by Haruki Murakami, and he suggested that the short story "Drive My Car".He originally liked Murakami's work and was reading at the time of the announcement of this short story (13 years)."The motifs (the characters) became intimate in conversations in the car were handled so by then, and I thought they might be a movie that could be made into a movie at the time."However, when it comes to realization, it is difficult to make a feature film in a short novel.For this reason, Murakami's two short stories, "Shella Zard" and "Kino" were adapted."Murakami's world is unique and cannot be done with realism. If you replace it with a real person, you will have to think about text and development in harmony with the world."I built my story while maintaining the world view of the novel.

　The director's family (Hidetoshi Nishijima) has lost his wife and then works on the stage, "Wanya Uncle" played in multilingual lines at the International Drama Festival.Through dialogue with the driver Misaki (Toriko Miura) and his wife's cheating partner, Takatsuki (Masao Okada), he draws his wife's death.

　In the production of the house in the movie, you can feel Hamaguchi's "style".Before shooting, the actor reads the script with emotions, and makes him play freely when the lines soak in their bodies.Hamaguchi movies have a unique taste, with delicate and complex emotions and emotions in the lines with low intonation.

Don't be afraid of "artistic"

　"The more you read the script, the more it will be, but I think it's fun. But if you perform a boring performance, the unrealistic will be impaired and you will be able to do something., The voice of a symbolic expression comes out on a flat plate. "If the actors can speak without being aware of the lines, they will naturally get emotions."In the acting place, the interaction of the actor comes out of the unrealistic, so I think it is important to say" this is the meaning ". At that time, the voice is just a symbolic.It's not an expression, I feel that it has plumpness. I feel while shooting it, and the amount of information in the voice may be transmitted to those who watch the movie while reading subtitles. "

　They continue to create works that are different from commercial movies.Even if you look at the screening time, it is a break."Drive My Car" is about 3 hours long.Happy hour, which won the Best Actress at the Locarno International Film Festival in 15 years, has been over 5 hours.On the other hand, the "accidental imagination", which won the Ginma Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2001, is an omnibus that consists of three short stories (40 minutes per year).However, I don't feel like an artistic movie.

　"It's not so lofty to aim for art. I think it's desirable that people who have spent money for production will not lose. I don't deny that the shows of the show business are the charm of the movie.I make what I think so that the audience can feel interesting. I can't make it so much. On the other hand, if I have to make something that is not interesting, something goes wrong. I notice it.It will sell if you can, but if you don't accept it, you can't do it.

　In the future, it is likely to be more "photographed".Do you have many ideas?

　"If there are people who fit the standards of fun, it will be easier to make, but it will not change in essence. The subject is not surprisingly not so much.I don't know if I want to do it, and depending on the encounter, I want to do this kind of thing. At least one in two years, is it the best pace? "

　"Accidental imagination" is currently open to three works, but it is a total of seven concepts."There is a story, and I haven't put it in the soil yet."A type that gives power when hunted down."Even if you write a script alone, it will not be interesting at all, and if you have a deadline or a producer, you can't do something crazy."I laugh so much, but the world will not leave it alone in the future.
