“An Actor's Revenge. Is this a good one?”

Robert Eggers director

“This is An Actor’s Revenge by Ichikawa, which I’ve only seen once. Kazuo Hasegawa was, like, a really illustrious kabuki actor, and he plays male and female roles, is, like, really powerful and really cool. And just the gender dynamics? Fascinating, you know, and... Anyway, I’ve only seen it once. I’m really looking forward to checking this out.”
