Updated 10/21 – Added spec for the Wakamatsu retro
While Koji Wakamatsu has recently gained attention over the last few years in the West, we still don’t know much about his scenarist-friend-director Masao Adachi.
But it may change soon as the French Cinematheque in Paris is about to screen most (?) of Adachi’s works from December ’10 until late February ’11 – check out the program
At the same time, the FC is also planning a Wakamatsu retro, with 40 films announced (pretty neat list). Just wondering if this will travel around the world or…?)
BTW, Adachi is said to be working on a new project called “Thirteenth Month of the Year”. EDIT – According to Matteo, it was a “project started 3-4 years ago, very interesting indeed but too expensive“, see the official website. As for Wakamatsu, his next film will be an “overview of 1960s-era Japan” (Mishima inside).
