It’s so incredible to watch a true craftsman create art. Hamaguchi has developed his own unique style and no one is doing it like him. His characters feel so real and specific, but there’s so much empathy and universality in everyone. His actors feel like real people, instead of fabricated characters. I count myself lucky to be alive at the same time as him, and I continually feel inspired watching his art.
