Sadistic and Masochistic Page #6

in the slightest bit attractive.

I'd say he lives in a swamp-

somewhere fetid like that.

That's my image of him.

But,

he also has soft,

vulnerable traits too.

But you can guarantee

that he will never expose

that softness in front of his team.

I really don't see

where the interest in me comes from.

When you said you were going

to shoot a documentary about me,

I was busy shooting the movie, Nagisa.

I really wondered

how you would go about depicting me.

Basically, I'm empty.

All I know is my work.

My wife warned me against it,

but they engineered a publicity stunt.

I was supposed to have a slavery contract

with an actress.

But it was just a stunt by Hanzawa,

the producer.

I tied up some actress,

and the photo went to the newspapers.

My family and my wife's family

were furious about it.

I didn't mind, not if it beefed up

the box office for my films.

Hanzawa asked me first.

I said I'd do anything for the movie.

So I profited from it, but I did

drag my wife into something unsavory.

I don't know how to say it,

but that's me in a nutshell.

How do you expect me

to explain my part in the big picture?

There's one thing

that I must point out.

If they interviewed my ex-wives about me,

and if they told the truth,

that would make me very sad.

We expected Link Of Love Affairs

to be the last of the Roman porno.

Exactly, and I wanted 100 dancers

as our finale.

I wanted to prove that we could carry on.

Just a little peek!

LINK OF LOVE AFFAIRS

So sweet.

Let us take your bra and panties off.

We'll do it for you.

You're shaking too much.

Let me do it.

Aren't you lovely!

Now there's one last thing to come off.

No!

Such sweet little panties.

Here we go.

Private Takeuchi. Wait!

That role calls for a sergeant, soldier.

Yes, sir.

The movies that I saw

were of a different genre.

Link Of Love Affairs

was a very different type of film from that.

Life on the battlefield is so very fleeting

Take your chances at love

while you are still young

The bright red, luscious lips-

I'll be late for school!

This is my first time.

- Bad luck.

- I'm so embarrassed.

Young girls are superb.

You left your teeth behind!

In 1999, I was back with Konuma

for the first time in years.

He was shooting Nagisa

with a young female lead.

MADOKA MATSUDA:

This scene is full of loud music

and big sounds.

Open your eyes big and wide.

You yell out your lines with gusto.

Or as you often say,

"Something's not right!"

I want more atmosphere in it this time.

Loud music!

So be very playful.

Even in the shade.

Lots of action?

Your posture should show you feel great.

That's enough lechery!

The poor girl.

See? You've made her cry.

We need to cut there at that point.

He's a totally different type from me.

I'd say-

He is definitely a strange one.

He's also noted

for being very materialistic.

I often say that his blood flows

just like the birds.

And that's an apt description.

But he's also a man of heart.

But he's not mushy.

He's far more businesslike.

That's why I maintain

he's almost a mystery.

I wanted to learn

how he made such good trailers.

So I made a study of his various works.

- No, it's true!

- First I've heard of it!

I just never told you.

Film is a montage of picture and sound.

I always stick to the script

when I'm making trailers.

But you aren't like that at all.

For action shots, I do three cuts

then insert some loud piano notes.

Man has a certain body tempo,

an instinctive rhythm.

Konuma calculates those elements

when editing.

Image, sound and tempo

are the requisite trio in his filmmaking.

Fair enough.

But what do you reckon?

Now he kisses me!

Good night. Take care.

See you on Tuesday.

We're all expecting you.

Tuesday then.

Ready? Rolling.

Action!
