The name of a Japanese film director....

Post by Pappa » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:50 pm

I wonder if anyone could help me with this. I'm trying to find out the name of a Japanese film director who is know for his use of certain types of scene transitions, such as cutting from one shot to the next with actors in almost identical positions, or certain coloured objects appearing in the same area of the frame. I don't remember the era. Colour was present, but I'm not sure if the films were shot in B&W and hand coloured certain elements or whether they were shot in colour... it was almost 20 years ago I saw them. I can remember some scene transitions though, such as a man sitting at a table about to eat dinner, cutting to another person in exactly the same position... and another transition, I think from a red ball to a red sheet on a washing line. That's about all I can recall.

I did a lot of google searching but only ended up with the one Japanese director I already knew of, Akira Kurosawa :dunno:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

I gave it a try, but couldn't come up with anything out of this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ja ... _directors

I only go to the K's before giving up, tho.

It may well be. The only film of his I've seen is The Seven Samurai, but the clips I'm thinking about were seen in a different context and may be from earlier work. I'll watch some more and find out. :mrgreen:
