The presentation of Guzen to sozo in Berlin, in 2021, preceded that of Drive my Car in Cannes. The first film is presented in the form of a triptych with different stories and characters, but the small music of Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s cinema is immediately recognizable, in a sentimental territory that lies between Hong Sang-soo and Rohmer, where lightness and gravity seem dance a pas de deux.

From film to film, Ryusuke Hamaguchi asserts himself as one of the greatest active filmmakers. If this opus is a little less complete and deep than his masterpiece Drive my car, it highlights two of its main qualities: a high-level actor’s direction, which allows an in-depth exploration of human feelings, and outstanding dialogue skills.

Coincidence and imagination
The stories that make up the film share the common theme of “coincidence and imagination” (the literal translation of the original title, Guzen to sozo, could actually be “chance and imagination”). “Coincidence has always interested me. Showing coincidence is a way of asserting that scarcity is the very essence of the world, more than reality itself. I realized how exploring this theme offered great insights.
