"I can say with absolute conviction that no Japanese filmmaker makes a movie without being aware of the existence of Shinji Sômai." These are the words of director Ryusuke Hamaguchi (Drive my car) about the protagonist of this cycle proposed by the Filmoteca in March. We'll see seven of the fifteen titles that make up the filmography of a director who died prematurely, But it has been reference for authors of Hamaguchi's size, Hirokazu Koreeda, Iwai. Shinji Sômai's cinema stood out for his special attention to the world of youth and rites of passage to adulthood in films such as Dreamy Fifteen [4 y 6], P.P. Rider [21-22] i Typhoon Club [25-26].
