I love the sense of history you get from this interview. Like what Millennium Actress would have been if it had taken a different track.
Makes me want to break out my copy of the film The Manga Apartments (referenced in footnote 14 of the interview as the "Tokiwaso Apartments"). |

I already bought it from the New York JHU for its gorgeous cover.
What of it? I've my own gripes w/ MA. Mainly concerning history. Specifically concerning the Manchurian Incident of 1931. |

Glad you liked the interview, Mr. Gazpacho. There are probably a million other questions I could have asked her (for example, I could have gone over every stage of her career in great detail, which TCJ interviewers sometimes do), but I think it was in many ways a perfect interview. The whole thing just clicked, and grew in the most organic way.
The Manga Apartments is a great movie, isn't it? (I didn't know it was available in English.) Motoki is fantastic as Hiroh Terada. All the actors are great. I think The Manga Apartments, Millenium Actress, and, if I may say so, the Hagio interview all beautifully illustrate the intersection of (enormously talented, but nonetheless merely human) individuals with larger historical forces. |
