“When you start looking in the darkness, you’ll see something. That’s the idea I wanted to depict and convey,” Kogahara Takeshi told Variety, after the screening of his debut “Nagisa,” a movie where darkness and silences play a crucial role.
The plot follows a young man (played by Yuzu Aoki) who suffers from guilt related to the death of his adored sister (Yamazaki Nanami), and encounters her ghost in a haunted tunnel. Thus, he keeps on visiting the tunnel to re-experience his past.
“The core idea came up when I was studying at the film school, a long time ago – 20 years ago or so. The idea was to [have a character] go into a tunnel and there see someone else, a ghost of someone special, [someone] you belong to.”
“Nagisa”
While continuing his career path, this idea remained stuck in Kogahara’s mind, until he managed to write a first draft of “Nagisa” eight years ago.
