Film "Taro's Fool

Push forward, expressionists. The light of creation that Masaki Sugata and Taiga Nakano are looking toward.

The youth and adults of today, Japanese society, impulses and glimmerings, all are reflected in this film.Taro's fool.(Kaiyodo) will be released in theaters on September 6 (Friday). This is the latest work by director Tatsushi Omori, who has dealt with "human beings" in numerous high-profile films such as "The Night of Germanium (2005)" and "Mahoro Ekimae Tada Handyuken (2011)", and it is also his first film based on a script he wrote 20 years ago. It is also his first film based on a script he wrote 20 years ago. Masaki Sugata and Taiga Nakano play the lead roles along with up-and-coming newcomer YOSHI, and we caught up with them to learn more about YOSHI and the "expression" they continue to challenge themselves with.

The clue is in someone's expression.

Sugata:. But there are others like YOSHI. . so I feel like the result is different for each person. So, to be honest, don't be intimidated by the number of choices, and don't be naive. I understand that. I understand. The other day I saw a movie called "Shojo KAIKOU" and thought, "I see. That was interesting, and the making of the film was wonderful.

There is a story in "A Strange Tale" called "Talent Ball. When you eat the candy or whatever it is, it tells you what your talent is.

Sugata:What's that? "You, do this"? Wow, that's a little scary too.

Nakano:Scary, scary! What about all the eyes on demand? . That's it.

Sugata:For example, if someone said to me, "You should quit acting and dig in the dirt, you'll be happier", I would think, "Well, I'm good at digging in the dirt..." (laughs).

Nakano:I wonder if I can find joy in that! It might be difficult (laughs).

. It's also boring to have limited choices, isn't it?

Sugata:Yes, it is. But when you actually try it, you may be surprised. I can dig a lot of dirt," and you might be happy. I think that most of the world's problems are just theories on paper, so I can't speak so highly of them, but I would give it a try anyway.

Nakano:Yeah. . Anything you're interested in. It's surprisingly manageable!

Sugata:You know, you can do anything in this day and age! . In this day and age, anything is possible. After all, the destination of expression is light.
