"Pale Flower (1964) Director Masahiro Shinoda on the thematic significance of clocks in his film noir classic. "It symbolizes the time when nostalgia for the past is repeatedly broken. It's an affair he can't go back to it's a love that cannot be recovered. When he visits the place again only a sense of futility remains. 'Time' is broken and the clocks represent this."

The whole thing looks pretty much like ballet dancing." "I like movement all kinds of movement body movement or camera movement" Woo said. "I like everything on the move. It also can help the mythic quality make a scene look more beautiful and have some kind of romanticism."

"Tokyo Drifter (1966) Seijun Suzuki on whether his films are directly influenced by pop art. "When I shoot a film I often look at pictures drawings and paintings. Not just pop art but Japanese pictures as well. The reason is because I want to see the form of these pictures especially in their depiction of women. I don't really understand why it's called pop art in my case. Maybe the result of this way of working turns out to be pop art but I don't intend to make it that. It just turns out to be like pop art. To be honest the choice of colours and such there isn't much significance to them."

"A Better Tomorrow (1986) John Woo on which order to watch his movies "Well I would like them to start with one of my Hong Kong movies called A Better Tomorrow. That was my first auteur movie. I think it was the first time I really could do whatever I wanted. All the shooting with two guns and all the action the slow motion all start from that movie. Then after A Better Tomorrow The Killer Hard Boiled and Bullet in the Head - also they can watch Face/Off. Thats also one of my favorite movies." https://collider.com/john-woo-silent-night-action-sequences"

"*MOVIE RECOMMENDATION* Eighteen Years in Prison (1967) Directed By Tai Kato one of the greatest directors of the yakuza genre Eighteen Years in Prison is one of the best Japanese prison films ever made. Real life ex-yakuza boss turned actor Noberu Ando plays a former kamikaze captain in post WW2 Japan who winds up in prison for stealing supplies from American forces. The prison is a yakuzacontrolled hellscape but it's also a metaphor for postwar Japan. The sadistic wardens stand in for corrupt government officials; the inmates who do their bidding are collaborators - and the most violent"

"Tokyo Drifter (1966) Seijun Suzuki on why he's drawn to the yakuza genre "It's not really the genre I'm interested in but the character of the yakuza or a killer. They wander between life and death. As a character they are more interesting than normal people. They live very near death so we can describe how they die where they die and when they die. You have a wider range of possibilities than you otherwise would if you were depicting a normal person." http://www.midnighteye.com/interviews/seijun-suzuki/ http://www.midnighteye.com/interviews/seijun-suzuki/"

"Akira Kurasawa on the writing process and intro to his classic crime film Stray Dog. "I first wrote the screenplay of Stray Dog in the form of a novel. I am fond of the work of Georges Simenon so I adopted his style of writing novels about social crime. This process took me a little less than six weeks so I figured that Id be able to rewrite it as a screenplay in ten days or so. Far from it. It proved to be a far more difficult task than writing a scenario from scratch and it took me close to two months. But as I reflect on it its perfectly understandable that this should have happened.

The whole thing looks pretty much like ballet dancing." "I like movement all kinds of movement body movement or camera movement" Woo said. "I like everything on the move. It also can help the mythic quality make a scene look more beautiful and have some kind of romanticism."

"Tokyo Drifter (1966) Seijun Suzuki on whether his films are directly influenced by pop art. "When I shoot a film I often look at pictures drawings and paintings. Not just pop art but Japanese pictures as well. The reason is because I want to see the form of these pictures especially in their depiction of women. I don't really understand why it's called pop art in my case. Maybe the result of this way of working turns out to be pop art but I don't intend to make it that. It just turns out to be like pop art. To be honest the choice of colours and such there isn't much significance to them."

I'll do the film. What's the title" "Le samoura" I told him. Without a word he signed to me to follow him. He led me to his bedroom: all it contained was a leather couch and a samurai's lance sword and dagger.'""

"Goodfellas (1990) Martin Scorsese on the "Funny how" scene. "Its based on something that happened to Joe (Pesci). He got out of it the same way by taking the chance and saying Oh come on knock it off. The gentleman who was threatening him was a friend (but) a dangerous person. And Joes in a bad state either way. If he doesnt try laughing about it hes going to be killed; if he tries laughing about it and the guy doesnt think its funny hes going to be killed. Either way hes got nothing to lose. You see things like that they could turn on a dime those situations. And its just really scary. Joe"

Real life ex-yakuza boss turned actor Noberu Ando plays a former kamikaze captain in post WW2 Japan who winds up in prison for stealing supplies from American forces. The prison is a yakuzacontrolled hellscape but it's also a metaphor for postwar Japan.

As a character they are more interesting than normal people. They live very near death so we can describe how they die where they die and when they die. You have a wider range of possibilities than you otherwise would if you were depicting a normal person." http://www.midnighteye.com/interviews/seijun-suzuki/ http://www.midnighteye.com/interviews/seijun-suzuki/"

So if we call one man's life a battle this battle-istic attitude uh there's things in life that fight with us like an illness or anything in life that threatens us or for instance an internal conflict. Well I almost saw the scene as a materialization of those things that fight with us and torture us in life. And the fatigue and loneliness that comes from this"

I am fond of the work of Georges Simenon so I adopted his style of writing novels about social crime. This process took me a little less than six weeks so I figured that Id be able to rewrite it as a screenplay in ten days or so. Far from it. It proved to be a far more difficult task than writing a scenario from scratch and it took me close to two months. But as I reflect on it its perfectly understandable that this should have happened.
