Yuki Hatayama is a producer, actor and cinematographer, known for Sense Of Sin (2018), The Shinjuku Five (2019) and The Viper’s Hex (2018).
On the occasion of his short film “Sense Of Sin” screening in Japan Film Fest Hamburg 2019, we talk with him about God, the concept of Sin, his childhood memories that served as an inspiration for the film, the construction of the creature, the horror genre and other topics.
How did you decide on the title ‘Sense of Sin’? Was there anything else you wanted to convey using the title?
I wanted to include religious meaning in the title but not too much. I’m basically skeptical about God and religion. Noh story titled “Nue” provided inspiration to one part of this film. Nue is the one of the mythical creatures (Youkai) in Japan. In the Noh story, Nue regrets its past behavior and asks forgiveness from Buddhist God for its sins.
