Kiyoshi Kurosawa, cinema’s “grasp of horror” and recipient of the Busan Worldwide Movie Competition’s Filmmaker of the 12 months Award, stated on Thursday he’d prefer to see extra Japanese artists discover style cinema.
Celebrated Asian filmmakers together with South Korea’s Bong Joon-ho, the Oscar-winning director of “Parasite,” admire 69-year-old Kurosawa, whose works are famend for his or her eager observations and psychological depth. Kurosawa obtained the BIFF Filmmaker of the 12 months award on Wednesday, becoming a member of earlier winners similar to famend Hong Kong actors Tony Leung and Chow Yun Fats.
Style-bending director Bong stated in a video message he was a “long-time, diehard fan” of Kurosawa and recited an extended listing of movies he has admired for years. Movie consultants say Bong’s work, notably his 2003 crime thriller “Recollections of Homicide,” has been closely influenced by Kurosawa. Jason Bechervaise, a professor at Hanyang College in Seoul, cited Kurosawa’s 1997 horror film “Remedy” for “its extraordinary atmospherics and depth.”
