About the Director

MORITA Yoshimitsu

Born in 1950 in Tokyo, a Broadcasting graduate of Nihon University, Morita Yoshimitsu began his career with an 8mm film, "Alive in Chigasaki," in 1978, making his first feature-film debut in 1981 with "Something like Yoshiwara." "Family Game" (1983) brought him international attention, and since then he has applied his taste for experimentation and ironic sense of humor to a wide variety of genres. "Haru" (1995) explored the nuances of love on the internet, while "Lost Paradise" (1997), a tale of infidelity, is one of the highest-grossing live-action films ever made in Japan. "Keiho" (1999) was selected for competition in the Berlin Film Festival
