I think it's interesting that he started out as an assitant to Ozu and then Takashi Miike was his assistant on "Black Rain." An interesting change of individual takes on Japanese filmmaking throughout the generations, wouldn't you say?

Tough filmmaker, but one who is incredibly fascinating. I don't know too many filmmakers who portray what he portrays with the level of skill and sophistication which he possesses. Very cool. Savvy

no unagi (the eel)? that's his masterpiece, for god's sake. which other filmmakers can make a film that's started with a scary and realistic frame of a husband stabbing his wife to death because of her affair and along the way evolve into a beautiful romantic drama between an ex-prisoner and a suicidal rich woman that takes place at a peaceful village? oh, and it won a palme d'or at cannes.
