Horror master Kiyoshi Kurosawa to bring eerie storytelling to his first samurai film
Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, known as a master of horror films set within the neurotic realism of the modern day, will bring his signature edge-of-your-seat storytelling to a genre he has never tackled before: the samurai movie. 'I do want to do it once, and it looks like it might be really happening, although things are still uncertain. I may finally be able to make my samurai film,' he told The Associated Press, noting he couldn't give much detail just yet. His upcoming samurai film will not have sword-fight scenes or action-packed outdoor shots that characterize the genre, known as 'jidaigeki.' Instead, it will be the same creepy quiet narrative of Kurosawa movies, where the action takes place almost claustrophobically, in this case, in a castle that just happens to be set in the samurai era. That concept alone is enough to pique a movie lover's interest. The horror master was just honored at this year's Japan Cuts film festival in New York. The festival presented him the Cut Above award, international recognition that follows the Silver Lion at the 2020 Venice Film Festival for 'Wife of a Spy,' centered around a troubled married couple during World War II. Kurosawa, who is not related to 'Seven Samurai' and 'Rashomon,' director Akira Kurosawa, said period pieces are difficult to make due to the extraordinary costs of sets, props and costuming. He also made it clear he isn't interested in directing science fiction, but rather pursues realism. However, he readily acknowledged that his films are all made up, in fact, 'a lie.' 'Maybe this is my weakness, or my characteristic; I want to tell my stories in a setting of a very real modern-day society, yet I want to entertain," he said. "And so it's a contradiction that I aim for every time," 'You create a lie, like a horrific character (in a realistic framework),' he said. Kurosawa, who has managed to produce a film a year over his 40-year career, invests a lot of time researching the setting and backdrop of his films, including much reading, to make it as realistic as possible. In his most recent thriller, 'Cloud,' a man who is down on his luck, portrayed by Masaki Suda, makes dubious profits by reselling items he finds online at far higher prices. It starts harmless enough, except, as the plot thickens, the protagonist is confronted by victims out for revenge. Kurosawa is not one to hold back on violence, often gory and extreme but beautifully shot, sometimes almost comical in its bizarreness. 'Cure,' a 1997 film about a police detective investigating a series of gruesome murders, starring Koji Yakusho, uses continuous shots purposely without cuts to bring out the varied emotions, and the coldness of the characters, sometimes changing viscerally within the same scene, to explore madness. Despite his insistence on realism, Kurosawa, who counts Alfred Hitchcock among his influences, doesn't rule out the addition of tiny unreal elements for that perfectly subtle and eerie effect. But his movies are never happy-go-lucky, he said. 'Everything being happy is not possible if you start with the realism of modern-day Japan,' said Kurosawa. Kurosawa believes that while filmmaking is usually a giant confusing project where multiple players must work together, producers worrying about the box office and actors concerned about their roles, it is ultimately about dealing with what feels right to your deepest self. 'In the end, it all boils down to: I understand there are many opinions, but we must choose what is right. What does being right mean? To figure that out is the creator's job,' he said. ___

S Line – Season 1 Episode 6 Recap, Review & Ending Explained
S Line S Line Episode 6 brings us to a café where a woman receives an intimate video. When she attends her university class, it's obvious that she's today's hot topic. At home under her duvet, she cries, continuing to receive threatening texts. That evening, she attempts to walk into traffic, but Kyu Jin stops her. Before leaving, Kyu Jin innocently presents her the glasses. Zip to Hyun Heup, who waits at the bus stop for Jun Seon. She asks him for a favor that lands them in a hotel room. Afterwards, she sees the S Line connected between them. Walking toward the bus, he suddenly runs off to get them some snacks. While she waits, Hyun Heup notices her new S Line disappear and turns towards an uproar in the area. It's Jun Seon with what looks like metal rods sticking out of his back. Thinking of herself as cursed, she sees another person who is close to her die. Next, Hyun Heup checks a video message of her school friend tied up, along with a Happy 17th message and an invitation to the 'room of boundaries.' She calls Detective Han for help. READ MORE: K-drama reviews In the car together, Han is still thinking about Seon-a's horrible S Line. Hyun Heup disrupts him to explain that someone has been counting down to her 17th birthday and that something is required of her. She shows him the texts. Han starts putting the pieces together – how she was lured to the school, how he acquired the glasses, etc. Could it be the same person? Han notes that her teacher, Kyu Jin, doesn't exist. Together, they race into the school building toward the lit classroom. Hyun Heup finds her friend, who says she came to meet Hyun Heup. The girls race out to find Han, but every time they take the stairs, they return to the same floor again. Han heads up to the roof and hearing a door, the girls do too. But they're not in the same place. Han approaches a group of people, one remarking how lucky she was to have met her. She remembers their conversation where Kyu Jin asked if she still wanted to die or would rather kill. The woman testifies that with the glasses, she found a new purpose in life, getting rid of a line every time she kills someone else. She uncovers a man, raising her knife, ready to sever her last sin and be reborn. On Han's roof, he sees Kyu Jin approach with millions of red lines from her head. When she spots him, she uncovers Han's father, who's tied and covered in blood. Handing Han a blade, she wonders whether he wants to save Seon-a. Han turns the knife on her, but she easily takes it from him, stabbing Han's father instead. When he shoots at her, the bullets deflect as she continues to walk toward him, grabbing him by the neck. On their own roof, Hyun Heup tries to explain what's happening, but then see that Gyeong Jin is wearing the glasses. Gyeong Jin tries to strangle Hyun Heup, but when they tussle, Hyun Heup smashes the glasses and Gyeong Jin returns to her senses. She notices that Hyun Heup's eye color has changed. Drops of blood distract Hyun Heup and she finds herself among the crowd surrounding Kyu Jin, who tells her that her ability to see S Lines from birth is a blessing. The crowd removes their glasses, surrounding Hyun Heup. Kyu Jin raises a long sword, ready to slash. But Hyun Heup's mother steps in front, protecting her daughter and falling to the ground instead. Her mother admits that she had the glasses too, that it wasn't Hyun Heup's fault. Getting up from her mother, Hyun Heup runs at Kyu Jin, straight into her sword, but Hyun Heup's blood floats away in droplets. Soon she rises too, lines bursting out of her and pulling her toward a ball of red. After a few moments, she's gently lowered to the ground as the ball comes for them. As Kyu Jin watches, Hyun Heup stabs her. But she says it's too late – they've already done what they came to do. The crowd begins to scream and run as all the glasses are lost, including Han's. And suddenly Han, Hyun Heup and Gyeong Jin are on the roof together. He reaches for his glasses, but they fall. While in the streets, people stare at the red night sky. And everyone can see everyone's red lines. On a new day on the subway, everyone wears glasses and Hyun Heup talks of finally being normal. Seon-a awoke from her coma and was reborn without an S Line. And as for the rest, Hyun Heup is alone again. She visits Jun Seon's grave and hears someone calling her name – it's Kyu Jin. Ending Explained Who is Kyu Jin? Someone working toward a 'rebirth' where every person can see S Lines. It's got the trappings of a cult with some supernatural thrown in. How is Hyun Heup involved? Kyu Jin believes Hyun Heup's blood will trigger the rebirth, giving everyone the ability to see S Lines and some people the ability to cleanse their S Lines. How does Seon-a wake from her coma? Possibly as a result of the rebirth. She's reborn without her non-consensual S Line and seems a lot happier. What happens to Han's father? Although Han tries to save him, Kyu Jin kills him with a stab to the throat. What happens to Hyun Heup's friends? Jun Seon dies in what looks like an accident, but was probably helped along by Kyu Jin in an effort to get to Hyun Heup. Meanwhile, Gyeong Jin survives, but we don't see what happens to her – just that Hyun Heup is alone again at the end. What happens to Detective Han? It looks like he goes back to being himself after all the drama. He does seem to be more protective of his niece and they also have a better relationship. The Episode Review Well, that was unexpected. While I've loved the creativity and incessantness of this drama, I was a little disappointed with this final episode. Yes, this is based on a webtoon and the supernatural is part of the narrative, yet I felt like they were getting to a real revelation then gave up and went paranormal to quickly wrap things up. There's a fantastic story of competitiveness, greed, revenge and superiority complex here. Up until episode 6, I was absolutely loving it. Even the cult was interesting, with people sucked into the possibility of rebirth and renewed purity. I would have been more interested in a human using the S Lines for selfish purposes – turning people's greed on themselves. Even with this ending, many of our favorites survived. Now that everyone can see S Lines, do you think it changes anyone's behavior? Or how they judge others? Anybody love the finale of S Line? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
