Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Retribution opened in Malaysia last week. The Star English daily published an email interview with the director yesterday. Kurosawa gave some pretty interesting insights into his films, his ideas and the ghosts portrayed in his stories.
A murder is something that is interpreted as heinous, cruel or immoral after it takes place and is established as a crime. However, if you were there at the moment when the murder took place, isn’t it possible for it to take on an entirely different aspect? What I always hope to depict in my films is not an interpretation but the different aspects and the texture of an event as it takes place.

Visitor, thanks so much for linking in this interview. Kurosawa endlessly fascinates. His comments on murder and the freedom found in disobeying society sound intriguingly Genetesque.
