When a guy like Rikiya Yasuoka breaks down crying in front of a dozen cameras and Yuya Uchida puts a black cloth around his head, you know not just any person has died, but one of the greatest.
I can only imagine what an impact his death must have had on people growing up watching his work.
The shot of 6-year-old Ryuhei Matsuda standing right next to his dead father's picture is a moment of breathtaking symbolism, knowing how great he would handle his dad's heritage just a decade later on . (Still waiting for Shota's real breaktrough).
A heartbreaking report (japanese only) on the life and death of the one and only Yusaku Matsuda, with lots of scenes from his movies and TV-series.
