Genius Director
2020, Japanese. Directed by Shingo Kanemoto.
Juzo Onigawara's ego is bigger than any other director's - and on the set of his latest film he is a rage storm incarnate, sweeping down everything and everyone: bottomless humiliation and physical violence in response to pretty much everything his crew does seem to effortlessly compensate for his lack of talent. But the real escalation sets in when he orders a young actress to his flat for evening "private lessons".
