Q&A with Oliver Hermanus, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Bill Nighy

Can you talk about genesis of the film?
Kazuo Ishiguro: I can tell you about the origin story of this film, before the real work started. I can take credit for having the original idea, because it was kind of an obsession of mine for years. It was partly because I was a Japanese kid growing up in England and I was always very interested in any Japanese film that was shown in England.

Can you talk about your scriptwriting and research process?
Writing can come with all sorts of weird blocks, so part of it for me is outsmarting those blocks
