Director Shunji Iwai at Japan Expo
Lily Chou-Chou, Hana and Alice, Fireworks and Love Letter: director Shunji Iwai returns to France to talk about his filmography!
Posted on
This year, the independent filmmaker celebrates the 30th anniversary of Love Letter (1995).
Shunji Iwai, a leading Japanese director adored the world over and particularly in North America, presents a retrospective of his filmography for the first time in France.
Inspired by literature, pop-culture and shojo manga, Shunji Iwai's work has only been timidly presented in France compared to that of his contemporaries Hirokazu Kore-eda, Shinji Aoyama and Shin'ya Tsukamoto. After a notable appearance at the Annecy festival in 2015 for the release of The Case of Hana & Alice, the filmmaker returns to France at Japan Expo in collaboration with the Maison de la Culture du Japon in Paris.
