Kitagawa Keiko review

I played the role of an active screen actress Katsura Yuenko at a time known as the "Golden Age of Cinema" (1950s and 1960s). Is a gorgeous but very close, approachable role actress. On the basis of the role, I asked Director Yamada, who had experienced the era of the photography institute at that time, about the unique behavior and atmosphere of the screen actress. At that time, the staff and actresses spent time together in the studio all day, just like the close relationship of family, and Xiao Wu, played by Sugata, was often instructed, "If only it could give people a feeling of teasing a cute brother."

Director Yamada has existed as a master since he was a child, and I was surprised at first that I would be able to participate in the director's work. The director's performances on the scene are always very convincing, and I am very impressed by the way the air of the shooting changes suddenly.

Producer comments

In the 1950s and 1960s, cinema was known as the king of entertainment. At this time, Japanese movies were the most vibrant, with countless masterpieces and many star actresses dotting the screen, attracting fans from all over the world. At that time, the star actress was a existence that everyone envisioned, but for the staff who worked together in the studio, it was a loved existence like family.

The star actress Keiko Kitagawa plays Katsura Yuenko based on the experience of director Yamada herself who came into contact with famous actresses of the assistant director era shortly after entering the studio. I repeatedly discussed with director Yamada the star actress who has a rare beauty and is loved by anyone in the current era, and this time, Mr. Kitagawa asked me once.

In the play, there is a close-up shot of Kitagawa's pupils, and director Yamada also packed a ticket and said, "She is the only actress who can be attractive in this photo." Kitagawa's beauty as a star actress on the screen is well reflected.
