Kore-eda: TIFFJP is the one who first awarded A Brighter Summer Day. It's now considered masterpiece so we are very proud of it.
Chen: I was yelled at a lot by the director Edward Yang in A Brighter Summer Day. The director yelled at me in a small warehouse. He told me that I was not putting my heart into my acting. After about 30 minutes of standing in the dark, the lights came on and I was taken to the shooting location. At the time, I didn't know why he was so angry. I can understand now that he got angry to get a realistic reaction out of me.
Kore-eda: Nowadays, it's unacceptable to force a child to act in such a way. I don't want to defend him but I think it was possible because there was a relationship of trust that would not be broken down. It reminds me of making "Nobody Knows" with Yuya Yagira who was 12.
