OUT THERE

The director Haruo returns to Tokyo and holds auditions so he can continue shooting a movie, part of which has already been shot in Taiwan. The film is about a local couple who decide to emigrate to the United States in the 1970s. During the audition, Haruo meets Ma, a young man from Taiwan; Haruo recognizes in him the same geographical and identity alienation which has always afflicted him. Struck by Ma’s existential disorientation, he decides to transform his feeling into the movie’s central theme. [cg]

“The beginning of everything was a chance encounter with a Taiwanese youth. While staring at him, I gradually wanted to make a film with him. I found a feeling of ‘loss’ in the youth. What he has continued facing in the modern cities of Asia, it is nationality and history, their past and present, and fear of identity. This film was made as if to draw his portrait. The portrait has been redrawn many times in the process of shooting. When you have finished watching it, I hope that you feel as if finding a friend who you knew from the old days.”
