In preparation for a screening at the Glasgow Film Festival which kicked off last weekend and a DVD release from Third Window Films in March, Confessions of a Dog’s director Gen Takahashi joined me to discuss his epic drama of police corruption in Japan, an eye-opening disclosure of the hidden infrastructures within Japanese society. We discusse his career as an independent producer-writer-director and the process of finding international distribution for 3 hour+ scathing observation of Japan.
I’m not too bothered about whether my film is Japanese or non-Japanese, I don’t particularly aim for a non-Japanese style […] I myself don’t really fit into Japanese society so maybe that’s just the natural outcome.
