Director Yutaka Matsushige sent a letter directly to Director Bong Joon-ho at the 29th Busan International Film Festival Open Cinema World Premiere Screening Film 'Lonely Gourmet the Movie' held at the Film Industry Center in Haeundae-gu, Busan on the morning of the 3rd"
Director Yutaka Matsushige said, "Lonely Gourmet" is a series that has been going on for 12 years, but the Japanese TV industry is not in a good environment. Many on-site staff quit, but I thought the Japanese drama industry needed stimulation, so I thought I should make a movie. I wondered what it would be like to make a new blood transfusion if I was going to make it, and I wrote to him because I wanted to do it with director Bong Joon-ho. Director Bong replied, `I'm afraid we can't be together because the schedule doesn't match, but I'm looking forward to the movie.' I decided to direct because Bong was looking forward to it, and I thought it would be better for me to do it myself than for other directors"I thought it would be fun to grow the TV and drama directors' staff while directing."," he said.
Regarding the directing-focused part, "It's a movie, but half of it is like a documentary" When you visit an actual restaurant, don't the owner make you a delicious dish. I thought it was important to eat deliciously. I always emphasize to the staff that 'this work has to be done at once, and it has to be shot in order' is what it means. I thought it was important to establish the documentary elements well", he explained.
Meanwhile 'Solitary Gourmet The Movie' is a theater version of the popular late-night Japanese drama 'Solitary Gourmet', which has continued the series until season 10 since its first broadcast in January 2012. The theater version attracted attention in that actor Yutaka Matsushige directed and directed it himself. It will be released in Korea in March.
