RYUSUKE HAMAGUCHI: [Pauses] When I was twenty I saw Husbands, by John Cassavetes. The film follows these three forty-something men who just lost a beloved friend. To honor his memory, they decide to spend three days just messing around: partying, drinking, hooking up with women. I was only twenty, way too young to know anything about life, but for some reason watching those people on the screen, I felt as if their lives were more real and vivid than my own. As if the film itself was just this very condensed vision of what life is. Husbands is one of the films that made me want to become a director, and make my own things. Except of course making movies like Cassavetes’s is extremely difficult, and there are times I find myself just wanting to drop it altogether. But I know that if I didn’t aim for that ideal there really wouldn’t be any point in me making movies at all. Whether or not I can reach it, I still need to strive for it.
