Here's a little something for fans of Kiyoshi Kurosawa ... though he's not nearly as well known internationally as his acclaimed mentor Kurosawa, Shinji Aoyama has built a solid name for himself with films like Eureka generating major critical acclaim around the world. Before launching out on his own Aoyama tutored as one of Kurosawa's ADs and the man's influence is unmistakable in Aoyama's approach to storytelling and the way he shoots his films. Plus he tends to use a lot of the same actors.
Case in point: The Lakeside Murder Case. Logboy just pointed this one out to me and I know very little about it other than that it came from Aoyama, it's a thoughtful crime thriller, the trailer looks beautiful, and it stars Kurosawa fave Koji Yakusho. Check the trailer out here.
