The first Japanese film I saw as a teenager in San Francisco was "Sword of Doom." Stunning and bloody. I never forgot those liquid, mad eyes. That film and Tatsuya Nakadai have remained my all time favorites. Other favorite movies he has been in are: "Yojimbo", "Hara Kiri", "Buraikan", "Kill", "High and Low", among many others. I am happy the Film Forum is showing a restrospective, with many films I have never seen. A fabulous, fabulous actor!
I was a little disappointed that I couldn't hear
Mr. Nakadai's voice very well becaude of the
simultaneous translator's voice was over his voice. He has a beautiful voice and his diction is so great in Japanese. I suppose it was necessary
due to the limited time in broadcasting.
I enjoyed the conversation nevertheless. Thank
you for making it available to public.

Unfortunately, I could not hear a thing!
I am a Polish film historian, I am collecting materials concerning the Japanese cinema. As Mr. Tatsuya Nakadai and his films are among my favorite ones, I enjoyed to hear about his work from him directly. Many thanks for making this interview available to public worldwide.
