Horror master Kiyoshi Kurosawa to bring eerie storytelling to his first samurai film
TOKYO, JAPAN, JUL 26 – Kiyoshi Kurosawa applies his signature eerie and quiet narrative style to samurai cinema, focusing on realism without typical action scenes, festival sources said.
- Kiyoshi Kurosawa will direct his first samurai film, bringing his signature edge-of-your-seat storytelling.
- This year, Kurosawa received the Cut Above award at the Japan Cuts film festival in New York. He draws on Alfred Hitchcock's influence and his past Silver Lion win to shape his first samurai film.
- In his samurai film, the action unfolds in a samurai-era castle with a creepy quiet narrative, omitting sword-fights and outdoor shots, and confronting the protagonist with victims out for revenge.
- Kurosawa said `You create a lie, like a horrific character `, incorporating tiny unreal elements and extensive research to ensure realism.
- Uncertain timing surrounds the project, Kurosawa said `I do want to do it once, and it looks like it might be really happening, although things are still uncertain`, adding to The Associated Press that `I may finally be able to make my samurai film`.
