The love between teacher and student that created ``The Spy's Wife.'' Interview with Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, and Ichi Nohara [Director's Interview Vol.84]
Immediately after ``Idaten'', the camera department adjusted to the color of Kurosawa's films.
Nohara: I'm sorry, but this is a rare opportunity, so there's just one more thing... As for the filming, although NHK staff were the main actors this time, it looks like a Kurosawa movie. I'd really like to hear how you conveyed that image.
Kurosawa: Apparently, he did a lot of research in advance, researched the staff I had worked with in the past, and probably asked them things like, ``That person likes this kind of thing.''
In fact, they were filming the taiga drama `` Idaten '' right up until the last minute. Because I'm extremely busy, there were days when only the production and production departments were on location scouting, so I was unable to have many preliminary meetings, and I was extremely anxious before we started. However, it seems like they understood this and were learning a lot.
Hamaguchi: With 8K, it seems difficult to focus.
Kurosawa: That's also interesting, because the staff on The Spy's Wife are used to working on large-scale taiga dramas with tight schedules, so they can suddenly focus on the actual production. You may also have experience with sports broadcasting.
Hamaguchi: That's amazing.
Kurosawa: I was surprised too. Even if we test it once or twice, or even if it takes a long time without testing, he says, ``There's no problem at all.'' When I said, ``I don't know where the actors will come from,'' he said, ``It's okay.'' Sometimes the focus was blurred, but I found it interesting and used it.
Nohara: Everyone may have been excited because it was directed by Kurosawa.
Hamaguchi: Originally, it was a special drama, but it was still considered a movie.
Kurosawa: I also shoot a lot of movies, so even if someone calls me a ``drama,'' I don't really understand the difference between it and a ``movie.'' However, from their perspective, ``this time it's not a drama, it's a movie.'' I definitely felt that kind of spirit.
Nohara: I'm sure everyone was happy to receive this Silver Lion Award.
Kurosawa: That's right. I think people are thinking, ``I'm glad I made a movie.''
