Takako Matsu discusses her sculptor role in Koji Fukada's film "Nagi's Diary" and the parallels between sculpture and acting.Summary
Koji Fukada's film "Nagi's Diary," inspired by Oriza Hirata's play "Tokyo Note," is an original screenplay that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Set in the nature-rich town of "Nagi," it follows sculptor Yoko (Takako Matsu) and architect Yuri (Shiho Ishibashi). Matsu visited a sculptor's studio to learn the process, finding that capturing the "skeleton" and "planes" of a subject mirrors her acting approach of starting with a broad impression rather than fine details. She also noted that the dissonance felt while acting can be a clue to understanding a character, reflecting the film's theme where art is integral to the narrative and human experience.
