Shishōsetsu

1996 · 1h 43m

A compilation of Kawanaka's representative "Shishōsetsu" series. "The title of my film series, 'I-novel,' is easily misunderstood. The 'I-novel' is a traditional Japanese literary form in which the filmmaker depicts his or her life as if poking around in a box. That's why I didn't shoot it like a regular documentary film. I'm filming everyday life, but it's fictionalized into a scene I've never seen before." -Nobuhiro Kawanaka
