Conversations With T.F. Mou (Trailer)

CONVERSATIONS WITH T.F. MOU is an upcoming documentary, filmmaker J.L. Carrozza's first feature film, about filmmaker Mou Tun-fei (T.F. Mou), a very fascinating figure in Greater Chinese cinema. His most famous being MEN BEHIND THE SUN (1988), a harrowing and provocative drama about Japan's medical experiments at the end of the Pacific War, Mou's best known films are of a very strong duality, just like the mankind that he himself so vividly depicts. These are some of the most grotesque, brutal and endurance pushing cinematic experiences ever conceived, but they are also films with a strong humanist core: enraged and relevant outcries at the injustice of society.

Director Carrozza first met met T.F. Mou back in June 2008, but thanks to a variety of complications the result didn't quite work out. Now, in July 2009, he met him again and is now compiling this hour-long documentary from dozens of hours of film clips, six hours of interview footage and a wealth of archive materials, including some personal photo albums of T.F. Mou's that show the making of MEN BEHIND THE SUN in a detail never before glimpsed. Coming soon in summer of 2010!

Three people don't understand that "Friendship is friendship and history is history".

So, is it true that the autopsy of the boy in Men behind the Sun was real?

[jlcarrozza]

@willscomix Yeah, but the kid has died and they were doing an autopsy anyways. TF Mou filmed shots of what is largely a real police autopsy and simply dressed the coroners up like Japanese doctors. He also cut open a pig for the close-ups of the heart being removed.

Men Behind The Sun was an excellent movie, and it left me wanting to see more Mou films. So this looks like it'll be very intriguing!
