Kurosawa Kiyoshi, Japan’s Prolific Genre Auteur, Is Still Experimenting: ‘I Keep Scripts Bare Minimum to Allow for Interpretation’
Kurosawa Kiyoshi speaks about his craft, his influences and his need to keep reinventing himself.
Kurosawa’s tally of completed films in 2024 has increased to three – mid-length horror “Chime,” revenge-thriller remake “ Serpent’s Path ” and actioner “Cloud” which has collected Japan’s endorsement as its Oscar contender. “As the producer was offering me absolute flexibility – the only sort of genre of requirement was that he wished to have a horror film that is new and different from before, bizarre and strange and weird in a sense, but also not avant garde – I found the challenge interesting and I said I’d take it.” “Serpent’s Path,” which debuted on Japanese commercial release before hitting the San Sebastian and Busan festivals, is a violent drama-thriller that is a remake of Kurosawa’s own 1998 film of the same title, only this time made in French.
