"To Each His Own Cinema" is I was watching at home with the help of DVD, it was I think I have finished watching "I wonder Fails". What this work was to see on the screen, did you regret. 33 pairs of filmmakers, the only masters to represent each film industry has built its own style. Such they and the light of the condition, in the movie that has been taken attention to detail of light and dark, the sound of the screen. Of course, but was also its commitment transmitted in the house of the monitor, but, after all that's home, because the quality of the screen and sound from being dependent on just the TV set, but it is do not can feel the aim of supervision accurately. I wonder too good to really. But except for that point, it is the personality full of works of masters who have been fascinated. Which director is watching while expecting or not taken, or happy when I hit, even come off or it is possible to know a surprising one side of the coach. In particular, the remaining of the impression, it is "3 minutes" of Theo Angelopoulos director. In this work, came out alive of the film of the already deceased actor Marcello Mastroianni, but once I met again with the current figure of also Jeanne Moreau that you have played with Mastroianni had been directing. I was surprised at the depth of the depth of the "realistic" can be expressed in the movie. It referred to as the human figure dressed in yellow clothes sandwiched between the iconic in the first half part, exactly what I think Naa had been studded can not be only in the video.

- Please list some of the remaining work on the impression to others.

"Denhime 戯院" Hou Hsiao Hsien was also good. I like his work from before, but this time have been appointed the same actor as the masterpiece "Three Times", cried just watch the thing that is reflected as a one of the fan. Rather than that the story to something happen, I'm rather nothing happens, of In the course progressed indifferently image in such a way, the camera and the subtle sense of distance of the target, subtle of actors movement, it was longed. Story might be deployed Some people feel that not enough with no work, but when are watching the work of Hou Hsiao Hsien, wonderfully the beauty of the video, you have think only I Naa's "movie" it. After, of Roman borane skiing "erotic movie" is, It was surprising for me. In fact, so far work of Polanski, but I have never seen so much, I did not not think that it is people who take the work of this comedy touch. We have laughed. Also, only the work that was close-up "where is Romeo?" The human face of Kiarostami, unlike the usual image, I was a little surprising to me.

Surrender to the idea of ​​the great master. Then, looking forward to is coming from the other side.

- Did you receive the stimulus as a creator?

After all, as the position to make a film, I think you would have to imagine or try to make the work doing what would they if the same conditions. I did not come up with the idea of ​​want to do specifically, but (laughs), but, might have been taken without the movie theater maybe. I think the theme is the cinema of "To Each His Own Cinema". But for myself, cinemas it does not mean that familiar location from the old days. Of course now it many opportunities to go to the cinema, but began to go willingly from to Tokyo entered the university. When I was a child is brought to the father storage is a certain degree I went to watch the animated film, theater I was not familiar. From one work one work of "To Each His Own Cinema", if there is a movie theater from a young age in the neighborhood of the house of each director, it it'll transmitted really that movie theater in mind and body is ingrained. And I'm very different. But why, I wonder if a movie theater can any representation if their was a distant presence.

- Do you think the watch far from where in some of "To Each His Own Cinema"?

Although I've seen in the DVD, I want to watch still in the movie theater. I watch a "movie theater is the theme of the movie" in a movie theater, but it is funny in a strange feeling. While enjoying the feeling, loose in the world of the 33 sets of coaches To Would not it good Once surrendered. Not not you or looking or thinking about this and that and works. In fact, their video, here in may not be what, you have penetrated more and more into their own. But three minutes is a blink, because it is 33 work turnover Standing changes to follow, be quite concentration is required. But because there is a discovery in here and there, I think the value is there enough.
