Japan Cuts 2016 - The Actor Q&A

Japan Cuts 2016 - The Actor Q&A
Q&A for closing night film The Actor with director Satoko Yokohama at the 10th anniversary of Japan Cuts Festival of New Japanese Film.
Takuji Kameoka has made a career out of masterful performances for the silver screen and he would be a household name—if it weren't for the fact that his filmography consists entirely of bit parts. As the prospect of a breakout role in a foreign arthouse director's newest work appears, so too does the possibility of winning the heart of izakaya owner Azumi Murota. In her hotly anticipated follow-up to the breakout Bare Essence of Life (aka Ultra Miracle Love Story, JAPAN CUTS 2010), director Satoko Yokohama adapts Akito Inui's original novel, crafting this quietly daring tribute to the workaday human magic underlying the gleam of cinema. Ken Yasuda, known for TEAM NACS and many voice performances for Studio Ghibli, is irresistible in the film's title role, while Yokohama regular Kumiko Aso shines just as brightly.
