Ryusuke Hamaguchi

yeah

Now, the next film you want to go see is the latest from a well-known director, Ryusuke Hamaguchi.

Did I pronounce that right?

I think so.

I think the best supporting actress, Tao Okamoto, she's going to get nominated.

Hamaguchi has a shot.

Definitely in one of the writing categories, but maybe even director because this is just like a subtle, beautiful movie.

And it has a good shot at foreign picture and best picture.

The film is up for Best International Feature, Best Screenplay for Lee Chang-dong and Oh Jung-mi, and Best Lead Performance for the great Jeon Do-yeon.

It missed out on Best Feature because that category is reserved for American productions, so it will compete against Ryusuke Hamaguchi's film and Sandra Walner's Every Time in the international race.

John's category is especially fierce this year, with acting heavyweights like Julianne Moore and Gillian Anderson also nominated.

Possible Love, which follows a laid-off worker couple and a documentary filmmaker couple whose lives tangle together, made history by becoming the first Korean film to win the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival, and the Gotham ceremony takes place in New York on the 30th of next month.

One of those foreign films that can be Oscar nominated nowadays because we're cooler than we used to be.

And that would be all of a sudden the new film by Rusuke Hamaguchi, who's not last film, but really big film prior to this was Drive My Car a few years ago.

I had...

I struggle with Hamaguchi.

I don't know what you guys feel about Hamaguchi.

Or if you feel anything.

I was a little hot and cold on Drive My Car.

i just i heard you pick powers i was like um jesus christ um please give me a list i am picking Oh, I'll amend my second pick and go with Drive My Car,

Ryusuke Hamaguchi's

2021 picture.

Great stuff.

That's mainly because I've been preoccupied with a string of very large compositional projects that have occupied most of my time.

Probably the main one is the soundtrack that I composed for the film Soudan, or All of a Sudden, which is a new feature-length film by Ryusuke Hamaguchi.

This is a Japanese-French co-production, and it occupied me for a good part of the last 12 months, actually.

So that is a three hour, 20 minute long movie that has so far been released in Japan and France and is going to be released in North America next month, I think on November 12th.

Yo lo tengo así pilotado a Wong Kar-wai porque fue el primer director asiático que yo me metí en él y luego di-- me di cuenta de que van cambiando.

Después de Wong Kar-wai fue Kim Ki-duk y luego fue no sé quién, y ahora el, el au-- el autor asiático que mola es el Hamaguchi este, y el otro europeo era Wa-- von Trier, luego pasó a ser Haneke y luego pasó a ser no sé quién.

Y me he dado cuenta de que son todos como-

Haneke me gusta mucho más que von Trier, honestamente

I think, uh, um, [clicks tongue] all of a sudden-

Ryusuke Hamaguchi.

Yes.

Hamaguchi.

Thank you.

Ryusuke Hamaguchi.

Just went out of my head.

Um, I think that could, that could happen.

...

Ryusuke's, uh, Ryusuke Hamaguchi's-

Hamaguchi's

... follow-up to, um, uh, Evil Does Not Exist.
