Weiß jemand, warum er nur zwei Filme drehte? Zu Problemen mit einer künstlerisch so offenen und freigeistigen Produktionsfirma wie Art Theatre Guild dürfte es doch nicht gekommen sein.
Habe hier mal ein interessantes Interview (2011) gefunden:
My desire of depicting something that cannot be realized, such as “flying high” and “transforming into somebody else”, got stronger than ever after shooting The Youth Killer and The Man Who Stole the Sun. I had the lead character kill his parents in The Youth Killer. I had another lead character develop an atomic bomb and blackmail the government. Now I can’t find a character in which to synchronize myself. Maybe that’s the reason I can’t shoot my next film. Another reason is the sales of The Man Who Stole the Sun weren’t so good. I truly wish the film had been released under the title I originally attached, Laughing A-Bomb, and it had become a box-office hit. The next film would have easily materialized if The Man Who Stole the Sun had been a big hit. And one more possibility is I sort of took on the nature of a perfectionist from Shohei Imamura because I started my career and learned filmmaking under him. I’m making a lot of excuses, but frankly speaking, I may just be an absolutely lazy guy (laughs). The mad passion for making movies is still in me though.
