ASYL - PARK AND LOVE HOTEL, directed by Izuru Kumasaka took the prize for "Best First Feature Film" at this year's Berlin International Film Festival. The film tells the story of four women who spend their time on the rooftop of a love hotel. The film thematically explores modernity, alienation and hope.
Director Kumasaka will be making an appearance after this North American premiere.
NYT: You are always smiling in press pictures, which gives us energy. Is it because you are happy about being a film director or creating films?
IK: In my perspective, creating is painful rather than happy. So, my smile does not come from the fact that I'm creating films. I should be happy about people letting me continue to be a film director.
