Kon Ichikawa dead As reported by Twitch here: http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/kon-ichikawa-rip/ Quite possibly the last of the masters of the golden era of Japanese film.... :-( RIP
Seems like he lived a good, long life. Rest in peace, Kon. I've heard of the man and his most famous works, but I haven't seen any of them yet. I will in the future.
I just read about it. It's sad but he had a long and very interesting life. RIP. I'd like to use this thread to recommend Shunji Iwai's latest work, The Kon Ichikawa Story (Ichikawa Kon Monogatari). It's a very insightful and respectful hommage to Ichikawa, whom Iwai admired very much. English subtitles are included.
