Don Brown at Ryuganji.net has posted an interview with one of Japan’s most engaging filmmakers (at least in my humble opinion) Yoichi Sai. I absolutely adore his 2002 film “Doing Time” and although I found 2004’s Takeshi Kitano star vehicle “Blood and Bones” a bit brutal at times I was still place it head and shoulders above a lot of films I saw that year.
Well, it looks like Sai is continuing with the violent content in his first Korean produced film “Soo” (Sai is an ethnic Korean-Japanese). The film tells the story of a feared underworld assassin who sets out to avenge his murdered police officer brother.
In the interview conducted by Japanese film magazine Eiga Hiho Sai has some interesting things to say about how Japanese audiences have to start demanding better quality films, and what he feels young Korean filmmakers place the most importance on.
