My Take
Fumihiko Sori is one of those behind-the-scenes guys who quietly does it all — directing, producing, writing — without making a lot of noise about it, which I kind of respect. Born in Osaka in 1964, he came up through an era when Japanese cinema was reinventing itself, and the fact that he's held all three creative reins on his projects tells me he's the type who needs to own the whole vision from first draft to final cut. He's not a household name outside Japan, and honestly I'll admit my knowledge of his specific films is thin, but there's something appealing about a filmmaker who's clearly driven by the work itself rather than the spotlight. Still active into his sixties, still making things — that kind of sustained creative stubbornness is its own quiet credential.
