    Tony Takitani
    \n<\/object><\/p>\n

    From Master class by Jun Ichikawa<\/a>,
    \nJun Ichikawa loved Ozu films, wanted to make his “Wild Strawberries” (Ingmar Bergman).
    \nLike Akira Kurosawa who started out with painting, Jun Ichikawa was doing oil painting as a student.<\/p>\n

    Q: Did you always know you wanted to go into film?
    \nIchikawa: I was doing oil painting as I wanted to stufy in the National Art University. I drew a lot and tried to enrol but failed each time. A friend discovered that I can draw good storyboards for commercials, and I joined a commercial production company, which started to employ me to make commercials. The commercials I made were well accepted by the public, and one day someone came and approach me to make movies. So in a sense I was fortunate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Loneliness is a condition to have a good movie. I watched a lot of 70s American movies like Taxi Driver, and I was influenced by those movies made after the Vietnam War, which has a lot to do on loneliness inside.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
