[KineJapan] Takagi Ryūtarō

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

Dear all,

Thank you Matteo for drawing our attention to this sad news about Takagi
Ryūtarō. I never had a chance to see Takagi-san in person (quite
unfortunately), but I’d just like to note that there is a new documentary
about him and his works, titled *Hyōgen ni chikara ariya* (2016). The film
was co-produced by Murayama Hideyo, the director of Documentary Film
Preservation Center (Kiroku Eiga Hozon Sentā <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__kirokueiga-2Dhozon.jp&d=DwIFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=e7qMG9KFq7WNnPQWULWHJA&m=11thoz7pfGUssbHStuIGZFGsM7voaIEtYSUcGrFITgw&s=UhOXgyzTqou4pw-I5sDden8-2CpXcpmomcpFhBn4LzU&e= >),
where hundreds of short educational films and PR documentaries are being
housed, including several works by Takagi, who started his career at
Iwanami in 1960.

The Center is eager to put out an English-subtitled version of the
documentary if the opportunity arises. The film is an engaging work that
mainly traces Takagi’s close relationship with Tsuchimoto Noriaki in
producing Minamata series, and it amply incorporates interviews with
Ishimure Michiko, Higashi Yōichi, Tsuchimoto and many others.


Sincerely,
Takuya
