船家十市乘載村民出城，他一直無親無故，載人渡河成了他生命的依歸。但河流上游正興建一座橋，不久之後，沒有人再需要他和他的船。
電影基本上只有三位主要角色，和一個場景：靠在河邊的木屋。河流是十市的生命，它在夏季時的流水特別湍急，水從山上的溶雪而來，對我們拍攝增添危險和難度。然而變化是這部電影的主題，隨季節造成的河流和地貎變化，是整齣戲的核心和要帶出的感覺。
導演小田切讓一直叫我慢慢拍，讓影像說話，他不想拍得太「花巧」。他不停跟我說「拍得像傳統風景畫一樣便好」，不斷着我往後退，讓構圖盡可能地寬闊。我常跟他說笑「如果觀眾用手提電話看這齣戲，恐怕看不到主角，他們在畫面上太微小了。」
我們在夏天開拍。第一日，劇組便有三人因為在空曠而又接近40度高温下工作而中暑，但我們也持續拍了好幾星期。之後到一月，我們再回來拍攝，當時的温度已下降至零下20度，寒風刺骨，漫天飛雪。
所有藝術都是摯誠之作，它的展現應是不多不少，恰如其分。它是自然而然生成的結果。電影最終有這效果，完全因為河流的形態：當你尊重它、從它身上學習，天氣、山脈和變幻無常的天空自然交織成作品今天的模樣。你只要忍耐，退一步欣賞。大自然為我成就了這作品一大部分。
Boatman Toichi ferries passengers across the river that separates the villagers from the town. He lives alone and this is the only life he has known. But upstream a bridge is being built, so soon no one will need him or his boat anymore.
There are basically only three characters in the film. There is basically only one set：the boatman’s hut by the river. The river is Toichi’s life. The river runs very fast in summer, watered by the mountains melting snow. So it was very dangerous and difficult to film. Since change is the main theme showing the seasons and the river and landscape at different times of day was basic to our story and the feel of the film.
Director Joe Odagiri kept telling me to slow down. To let the image talk, he didn’t want any “film tricks”. “ Make it look like a traditional landscape scroll “ he kept saying. And he would always ask me to pull back, to make the frame as wide as possible. I often joked “ people watching this on their phone would even see the characters, they are so small on the screen “.
We start in Summer. First day three of my crew had heat stroke working in this vast open space under the 40-something degrees Celsius. We worked for a few weeks like this, then came back in January, for the minus 20 °C windy winter and the snow.
All art has to be true to itself. It has to be no more or less than what it is about. It has to be what it will be. This film is the way it is because the river is the way it is: you have to respect it and learn from it. And this film looks the way it does because of the climate, the mountains, the changing sky. You have to be patient, to step back to appreciate. In this film, nature did most of my work for me.
