We learn many things from children, always.

We can see loss as something missing, but that missing space can be filled with something else, and that creates healing.

I would say that 'After the Storm' is much more informed by my personal life than my other movies.
- Family

I don't really like something serious depicted in a serious way; that's not my style.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With 'Nobody Knows,' I consciously set out to make a fiction film, which is a different approach from 'Distance,' but I still applied a lot of the things I learned from making 'Distance': for example, how to use the camera in relation to the children and how to create the right atmosphere on set.
- Make

- Nov 07, 2020
When you make a documentary, you have to adapt to what reality imposes upon you.

I wanted to make 'Nobody Knows,' a kind of summation of the experiences I gained from making my first three films, the good ones as well as the bad ones.

My mother loved films! She adored Ingrid Bergman, Joan Fontaine, Vivien Leigh. We couldn't afford to go together to the cinema, but she was always watching their movies on TV.
- Mother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mother was really against it when I said I wanted to make films. She said that I should be a civil servant because that was safe, and it had security. But my mother was always very proud of my movies and would give videocassettes of them to all the neighbours.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My father did not have a lot of security in his life. He did odd jobs. He had a real struggle to make money. He lost a lot of time in his 20s, after the war, because he was sent to a forced-labour camp in Siberia.
- Mother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We used to have prawn tempura: that was my mother's favourite dish. But she had to go out to work instead of my father, so she couldn't find the time to cook nice meals. So we ate more modern food: a lot of frozen and instant food. But I never complained about it to my mother.
- I Am

I am hopeful that films can connect people who are in conflict in a separated world.

I grew up without a father.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The children in 'Nobody Knows' had a resonance with me. The children are projections of myself.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Like Father, Like Son' gave me the opportunity to show when it is not good with a father.
- Almost Everything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Hardly anyone says anything real in the courtroom. Almost everything is decided ahead of time, and the truth is found behind the scenes.
- Choose
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I choose child actors, I chose them for their personalities. And then I work with their own vocabulary, so I'm not imposing text or dialogue on them: I'm just receiving.
- Europe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Tokyo is wonderful for distribution of international films, a lot of Iranian films, Taiwanese films. But most of the art films are from Europe and Asia.
- Humor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the eighties, there was a huge shift in the humor of Japanese television. Up until then, the humor was garnered by people who said humorous things, but in the '80s, it was garnered by people who were being laughed at while the audience watches and watches.
- Direction
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I watch 'Electronic Boy' faithfully every week - not because I like the show but because I'm interested in where the smartest T.V. producers and directors are going, what direction they are headed in.
- Japan
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Privacy is not really a concept in Japan.
- Criticise
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is righteous to receive state subsidies to make films that criticise the state - I want Japanese people to accept such European values.
- Box
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If my films did better at the box office in Japan, it would be easier to get them made.
- Fast
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fast cutting, loud music, blood spewing everywhere, and gunshots permeating the scenes does not necessarily make for a shocking movie.
- Interested
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm less interested in death itself than in people whose lives are touched by it.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All my mother ever wanted to talk about was what she hated about my father and the times he cheated on her when he was younger. It really irritated me, and I told them they had to sort things out between themselves. Looking back on that, I see that it was really cold of me as a son.
- Left
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The vividness of children is easier to see when they're completely left to their own devices.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As the Japanese family gets more and more atomized, grandparents don't live with the nuclear family, so parents of children can't consult with their own parents about how to raise their children and rely on that to help raise them.
- Control
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm so entranced by what unfolds in front of the camera. It seems wonderfully out of my control.

I never want to be the all-knowing god of the story, manipulating what's to happen or the action.
- Long Time
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been a fan of Yoshida Akimi's manga for a long time; she's one of a few women's manga writers that I always read.
- Mistake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's definitely good to have a hit from time to time, though not too often. If you have a few hits in a row, people start to think every film you make will be a hit, which is a big mistake.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mother used to work in a bank in Tokyo. It was a busy district, and after work, she used to go and watch films.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Japanese don't have a specific religion, but a spirituality. A cap, shoes, and a table have a spirituality. When you eat an apple, you don't say you eat it: you say, 'I am receiving it.' Kind of like you are thanking the food.
