Rurou no Tsuki/ Wandering - Tori Matsuzaka/ Recap from Kinema Junpo (2022年5月)

The view from normal fans, film writers and film studies people are so different! They even have a different scene for "impressive" scene.

Said the most memorable scene is Fumi's hands when they reunite: the blood flow through his fingers to nails and camera pans to his face?

Also Tori said he wanted to look like a plant and very relieved when Dir. Lee said "You look like a plant." when they first met for rehearsals.

Tori said with this film, he didn't get any sense of accomplishment. He just thinks "there's no ceiling in this job." 
This is really artsy and technical interview. Also have details about filming and auditions. I love it. Will add more later. 
Dir. Lee invited Tori to audition the child Sarasa. At first, they auditioned 9-year olds. Said they're too young to communicate. So, they re-did the audition all over again with older ones and changed the Sarasa's age to 10 in the movie. (*Tamaki is 12) 
Tori said Tamaki and Suzu are completely synced as Sarasa. Dir. Lee gave him 2 weeks time-off for 15 years time skip and when he got back to set, Suzu just came in to cafe and he thought "Oh, it's Sarasa!" and time skip is done. 
Calico is a vertically long, narrow cafe. When Dir. Lee found the place, they thought it's too narrow to shoot in CinemaScope (Note: Wide, 2.66:1). But Hong Kyung Pyo said he has filming exp in a train (*Snowpiercer) and they went ahead with the place.

Kinema Junpo praised Hong's cinematography a lot. Especially praised that his talent of using light and atmosphere helped capture Fumi character to the fullest since Fumi has almost no dialogues in the film.
