Two gods of cinema walk into a room. Only one hour of tape exists. This is it.
An hour-long conversation between Akira Kurosawa and Hayao Miyazaki which took place in Kurosawa's home near Mt. Fuji.
Direction
Invisible camera lets two masters simply exist together
Production
Kurosawa's actual home, Mt. Fuji looming like a third presence
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This meeting represents a passing of torch between two eras of Japanese cinema: Kurosawa's humanist epic tradition and Miyazaki's emerging anime dominance.
The 1993 date places this shortly after Kurosawa received his honorary Oscar and during production of Princess Mononoke—peak creative tension for both.
