[KineJapan] Kawase Redux

[Markus Nornes]

Shukan Bunshun has another Kawase article, and apparently much longer. It's
behind a paywall that cuts off after the incident where she punches a staff
member in the face so hard his face swells up. But this box below the
headline gives a sense for the ground it covers.

東京五輪公式映画が間もなく封切られる河瀬直美氏。キャリアの絶頂を極めるまでには、役者を精神的に追い詰める演出や、スタッフを部品のように切り捨てる一面も。自らを卑弥呼になぞらえる映画界の女帝の足跡を辿る。

▶「人を部品のように」カンヌ受賞作主演が3時間語った
▶女性スタッフを深夜のNYに締め出し「帰ってくるな」
▶仕出しスタッフに一目惚れして主演抜擢、破局後に“追放”
▶ヒロインに“イジメ演出”「徹底的に無視」「点滴5回」
▶「黒澤明、大島渚の次の世代が私」“世界のカワセ”と豪語

Spectacular...by design. It's a weekly, so hard to trust. But it's also a
topic the major outlets resist—as we've seen here in the states, especially
pre-#Metoo. I'm curious if anyone has read the whole article, or if it's
being picked up by other magazines, newspapers and TV.

She must be in the news all the time considering the Olympics film (part 1
of 2) is out and is playing at Cannes. Has anyone seen it????
