Documentary that follows along with the process of creation in The Summer of Kikujiro, by Takeshi Kitano, also presented at this 23rd Mostra. Steering clear of the clichés in making publicity films (narration, quick editing, and insertion of scenes from the film), director Shinozaki Makoto observes Kitano in documental form in an endeavor to bear vivid witness to the work of the Japanese film maker. Makoto filmed over 100 hours of images, showing a film maker who is part of every detail of his production (acting, directing, editing, and music) and that, at times, is so very uncompromising, yet amusing with his collaborators. Makoto also allows himself to be taken by chance, as from the unexpected visit from Hou Hsiao-Hsien (Taiwanese film maker, of Flowers of Shanghai, selection for the 22nd Mostra), who met with his friend in an editing room to talk of cinema.
