Acclaimed director Hirokazu Kore-eda fears that Japan’s underfunded, inward-looking cinema industry is putting off young talent, so he’s taken matters into his own hands by mentoring up-and-coming filmmakers for a new Netflix series. | AFP
To help tackle the issue, the director of “Broker” and “Our Little Sister” collaborated with three younger proteges to make a new Netflix series set in tradition-steeped Kyoto.
“It’s more like—I want to steal something from these three,” he joked, complimenting the quality of their art and “knowledge of equipment that’s far deeper than mine.”While Japanese anime is booming on Netflix and other streaming services, the nation’s live-action offerings have been overshadowed by South Korean megahits such as “Squid Game” and the Oscar-winning movie “Parasite.”
He has previously said that making French film “The Truth,” released in 2019, and the recent South Korean title “Broker” sharpened his perspective on what the industry lacks at home. “Filmmakers of my generation, myself included, are resigned to the reality that we can no longer make a living solely by making movies,” the 26-year-old told AFP, sitting alongside the two others, Megumi Tsuno and Takuma Sato.
