Wishing a happy 70th to Kiyoshi Kurosawa! With a vast body of work that encompasses pink film, V Cinema, J-Horror and domestic dramas, Kurosawa’s philosophical explorations of the human condition offer unsettling examinations of our world.

I spoke with Kiyoshi Kurosawa about Robert Bresson, elliptical endings, the increasing internationalism of Japanese cinema, and the ambiguities in defining a remake. It's one of the most rewarding conversations I've ever had with a filmmaker. screenanarchy.com/2025/07/cloud-…
Kon Ichikawa's ODD OBSESSION, Masaki Kobayashi's KWAIDAN and documentary THE OZU DIARIES feature in this year's Venice Classics lineup.
