Kurosawa is my hero, and I've taught courses on his films, and I love what he does, and 'Rashomon' is, I think, his second greatest film after 'Ikiru.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For many years, my favorite director has been the Japanese giant Akira Kurosawa.
I think Kurosawa was one of the first storytelling geniuses who began to change the narrative structure of films.
Kurosawa is the sensei, the Shakespeare, of filmmaking.
I'm a huge fan of Akira Kurosawa, a big Hitchcock fan.
I was influenced by European movies, old Fellini, old Kurosawa - any sort of foreign film.
'Ek Main Aur Ek Tu' was a very special film for me. Imran and we complement each other very well. He is sugar, and I am spice.
The expected vertical line of Ikiru's narrative breaks when Kurosawa does a flash-forward in the middle of the film.
I got nominated for my second film as best young director in the Aikido Film Festival in Japan.
Perhaps the writer I've read the most of is Haruki Murakami, the Japanese writer, but I wouldn't necessarily say he's a favourite. I read him because I find his work so intriguing, but I don't necessarily feel I would follow this writer to the ends of the earth.
I'm a big fan of Alan J. Pakula's films like 'All the President's Men', 'The Parallax View,' and 'Klute.' I'm a big fan of those movies.
