Director Spotlight #12: “The Takatsu River”

Dir. NISHIKORI Yoshinari

(The Takatsu River)

Film director and screenwriter. Born in January 1962 in Izumo, the birthplace of Kabuki, Sake and Sumo wrestling. While many movies are based on other works, he is one of the few filmmakers who are involved in original story and writing. Recognized for his descriptive power of capturing casual everyday life, and soft visual sense. Likened to a Japanese Zhang Yimou.
