埃舍尔街的红色邮筒 (2020)

趣闻

Red Post on Escher Street is a 2020 comedy-drama film written, edited, and directed by Sion Sono, starring a large ensemble cast. It has been described as a "love-letter to cinema itself, its makers and, more than anything else, its performers."

Production

In the year before the film's release, Sono participated as an instructor in a workshop for aspiring actors. He explained, "simply training [the students] wasn't enough, so I decided to make a film with them." He further described the film as being "like a graduation project" and that his intentions for the film weren't to make a film for theatres, but to make something to support his students and their future careers.

When describing what it was like to work with his students, as opposed to professional actors, Sono said, "When I've worked with newcomers in the past, they would be paid for their participation. Workshop participants pay to be in the film. That's the big difference. In other words, I ended up putting more effort into training them."

Filming took only eight days to complete.

The final scene of the film was unscripted and shot after principal photography had finished. Sono said he wanted the final scene to be "documentary-like" and shot the scene on-location without extras. While the police officers who appeared in the scene were hired actors, Sono expressed that he wouldn't have minded if real police officers had shown up to stop their filming.
