Kiyoshi Kurosawa

biography:
Kiyoshi Kurosawa (jap. 黒沢 清) ist ein japanischer Regisseur und Drehbuchautor, der vor allem für seine Horrorfilme internationale Bekanntheit erlangte.

Kurosawa drehte bereits als Jugendlicher erste Super-8-Filme, startete seine künstlerische Laufbahn als Regieassistent u. a. von Shinji Sōmai, bevor er in den 1980er-Jahren mit Inszenierungen von Low-Budget-Yakuza-Filmen für die Direct-to-Video-Produktion als Regisseur debütierte, für die er teilweise auch das Drehbuch schrieb und gelegentlich auch als Schauspieler vor die Kamera trat.

Internationale Aufmerksamkeit erreichte er erstmals 1997 mit seiner Studie über einen Serienkiller in dem Film Cure (キュア), für dessen Drehbuch er ebenfalls verantwortlich war und der mehrere nationale Auszeichnungen gewinnen konnte. Pulse (回路) gab dem J-Horror 2001 entscheidende Impulse.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa

biography: Né le 19 juillet 1955 à Kobe, Kiyoshi Kurosawa débute la mise en scène avec des films indépendants en 8 mm alors qu’il étudie la sociologie à la Rikkyô University. Sa cinéphilie puise autant dans le cinéma moderne européen que dans le cinéma américain des années soixante-dix, la série B d’horreur, le cinéma de genre nippon. Il fait ses débuts en tant que réalisateur de long métrage commercial en 1983 avec « Kandagawa Wars ». C’est en 1997 qu’il accède à la reconnaissance internationale avec « Cure ». Il devient alors un habitué des festivals internationaux, livrant un panel d’œuvres remarquables et indiscutablement personnelles : « Charisma » (1999) ovationné à la Quinzaine des réalisateurs à Cannes, « Kaïro » (2001) qui reçoit le prix FIPRESCI dans la section Un Certain Regard du Festival de Cannes 2001, « Jellyfish » (2002) sélectionné dans la Compétition Officielle de Cannes 2003, « Tokyo Sonata » (2008) qui remporte le Prix du Jury dans la section Un Certain Regard de Cannes 2008, le film en deux parties « Shokuzai » (2012) présenté dans la Sélection Officielle au Festival de Venise, au Festival de Toronto et à Deauville en 2012.  En 2014, « Real » est présenté à Toronto et à Locarno et l’année suivante Kurosawa remporte le Prix de la Mise en Scène dans la section Un Certain Regard à Cannes pour « Vers l’autre rive ». Il réalise par la suite « Creepy » (2016), sélectionné au Festival de Berlin, « Le Secret de la chambre noire » (2016) dont le tournage a eu lieu en France, puis « Avant que nous disparaissions » et « Invasion » sortis en salles en 2018. Son art de la mise en scène contribue à classer ses films parmi les plus effrayants jamais réalisés. Mais les règles de l’épouvante cinématographique sont souvent, chez lui, un prisme philosophique à travers lequel il observe l’histoire culturelle et la réalité sociale du Japon. Après « Les Amants sacrifiés » (2020), Lion d’argent de la meilleure réalisation à Venise, 2024 marque le grand retour du prolifique maître de la peur et de l’angoisse avec « La Voie du serpent », en compétition au Festival de San Sebastian et tourné en France avec Damien Bonnard et Mathieu Amalric, le moyen-métrage « Chime » dévoilé à la Berlinale, et « Cloud », sélectionné pour représenter le Japon à l’Oscar du meilleur film international 2025 et présenté en première mondiale au Festival de Venise.

Scenes from the surprisingly low key and relaxed production of "Bright Future" are of course sprinkled liberally throughout the documentary, but between these we are treated to interesting and revealing interviews with actors, producers and Kurosawa's many other collaborators. And perhaps the most surprising thing of all is how much of Kurosawa there is, talking candidly about his working methods and the philosophy behind it all.

Although categorized as horror films, his films never showed a monster, leaving it all to the viewers imagination, assisted by music, mood and lighting.

title: Pink Ribbon

overview: Documentary filmmaker Kenjiro Fujii takes a look at the history of a distinctly Japanese brand of softcore pornography in this extensive examination of the "pinku eiga" genre (ピンク映画 Pinku eiga or Pinkeiga). For more than 40 years, so-called "pink" films have served as both a key source of revenue for the Japanese film industry as well as a launching pad for the careers of such mainstream filmmakers as Kiyoshi Kurosawa. After providing a detailed history of the still-profitable and popular genre through interviews with a variety of behind-the-scenes players and clips from such classic pink films as Fish Bait Boobies, director Fujii shifts his focus to the production of an upcoming pink film to offer a glimpse into the creative and stylistic evolution of the genre.

title: 突貫ジジイ 第5話 ある実験

overview: In this compact, off-kilter vignette, a lone researcher conducts a small-scale “experiment” whose procedures slide quietly from the scientific to the absurd.

Francis Huster

biography:
Francis Huster est un acteur, metteur en scène, réalisateur et scénariste français, né le 8 décembre 1947 à Neuilly-sur-Seine.

C'est la grand-mère de Francis Huster qui communique à son petit-fils sa passion pour le cinéma. Elève au lycée Carnot, il s'inscrit au Conservatoire municipal du 17e arrondissement, puis au cours Florent et enfin au Conservatoire national. Aussitôt engagé à la Comédie Française, il joue les grands classiques comme Don Juan, Ruy Blas, Hamlet, et se tourne vers le cinéma à l'aube des années 70.

Francis Huster apparaît pour la première fois à l'écran dans La Faute de l'abbé Mouret de Georges Franju. Suivent quelques petits rôles de jeunes premiers bellâtres dans Faustine et le bel été (1972), L'Histoire très bonne et très joyeuse de Colinot trousse-chemise (1973) ou encore Lumière (1975). Dès 1976, grâce à Si c'était à refaire, il entame avec le cinéaste Claude Lelouch une fructueuse collaboration qui se poursuivra avec cinq autres films : Un autre homme, une autre chance (1977), Les Uns et les autres (1980), Edith et Marcel (1983), Il y a des jours... et des lunes (1989) et Tout ça... pour ça ! (1992).

En 1981, Francis Huster quitte la Comédie Française pour s'impliquer davantage dans le cinéma. Il tient ainsi le haut de l'affiche du film d'Elie Chouraqui Qu'est-ce qui fait courir David ?, parabole sur une famille juive lors de l'Affaire Dreyfus. Il enchaîne avec J'ai épousé une ombre (1983) et Le Faucon (id.), film qui lui permet de s'essayer au polar, avant de jouer à deux reprises sous la direction d'Andrzej Zulawski, un réalisateur qu'il admire, dans La Femme publique (1984) et L'Amour braque (id.). Fort de cette expérience, Francis Huster se décide à mettre en scène son propre long métrage en 1986 : On a volé Charlie Spencer !, l'histoire d'un employé de banque aspirant à une autre vie.

A partir des années 90, ce dernier délaisse quelque peu le cinéma pour se produire sur les planches avec sa compagne Cristiana Reali, une de ses anciennes élèves au Cours Florent, et s'investir davantage dans des séries télévisées à succès comme Terre indigo (1996), Le Grand patron (2000), Jean Moulin, une affaire française (2003) ou encore Zodiaque (2004) et Le Maître du Zodiaque (2006). En 1997, il fait une apparition très remarquée dans Le Dîner de cons grâce à son fou rire communicatif, puis se contente souvent de jouer son propre rôle au cinéma (Pourquoi (pas) le Brésil ?), celui d'un professeur de théâtre (L'Envol), d'un comédien (Le Rôle de sa vie), voire même d'un éternel séducteur (Comme t'y es belle !). En 2008, il repasse derrière la caméra pour livrer Un homme et son chien, sa propre version de Umberto D., et surtout pour s'offrir le come-back inespéré de Jean-Paul Belmondo au cinéma.

overview: The film follows four families, with different nationalities (French, German, Russian and American) but with the same passion for music, from the 1930s to the 1960s. The various story lines cross each other time and again in different places and times, with their own theme scores that evolve as time passes. The main event in the film is the Second World War, which throws the stories of the four musical families together and mixes their fates. Although all characters are fictional, many of them are loosely based on historical musical icons (Édith Piaf, Josephine Baker, Herbert von Karajan, Glenn Miller, Rudolf Nureyev, etc.) The Boléro dance sequence at the end brings all the threads together.
