Ryusuke Hamaguchi shares his art: Masterclass in Peru with the director of "Drive My Car".

The renowned Japanese director Ryusuke Hamaguchi, acclaimed for his successful film "Drive My Car," is preparing to share his experience and knowledge with the Peruvian audience through a masterclass that promises to be a unique opportunity to delve into the mind of this talented filmmaker. In an exclusive interview via Zoom with El Comercio, Hamaguchi revealed some details about his creative process and his most recent projects. For Hamaguchi, filming inside vehicles has been a constant in his career, as he believes that this space favors his dialogue-based storytelling style. From his early films shot aboard buses and trains to the use of special cars like the Saab 900 Turbo in "Drive My Car," the Japanese director has been able to take advantage of the intimacy and closeness that is generated between characters in this environment. "Drive My Car" became a milestone in Hamaguchi's career by winning the Best Screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival and being nominated for the 2022 Oscars. This film, which addresses themes of grief and rediscovery, solidified the director's position in the international film scene and positioned him as one of the most promising talents of his generation. Now, with his film "Evil Does Not Exist," Hamaguchi explores more political terrain by addressing the issue of a 'glamping' project in a small Japanese village. Through this story, the director seeks to balance social criticism with a poetic approach, once again demonstrating his versatility and his ability to address complex themes from different perspectives. Regarding his cinematic influences, Hamaguchi admits to feeling connected to the Japanese filmmaker Mizoguchi, whom he admires for his pursuit of perfection in every shot and his simplicity in narrative. This inspiration is reflected in the precise and meticulous approach that the Japanese director applies to his own work, always seeking to convey his ideas in the clearest and most effective way possible. Despite his success in Japan, Hamaguchi does not rule out the possibility of venturing into international projects in the future, although he recognizes the importance of spoken language in his work and the need to communicate his ideas with precision. This constant pursuit of improvement and perfection has positioned him as one of the most talented and promising directors of today. The masterclass that Ryusuke Hamaguchi will offer in Peru promises to be a unique opportunity to get up close with the creative process and experiences of one of the most prominent filmmakers today.
