Getty Images For Yukiko Sode, the challenge wasn’t pressure – it was pleasure. Adapting Mieko Kawakami’s introspective novel “All the Lovers in the Night” for the screen meant externalizing a protagonist’s inner world, a task the director describes not as burden but as sustained creative exploration.
“It was certainly a challenge to find a way to externalize the protagonist’s first-person introspection from the novel. But if anything, what stayed with me was the enjoyment of the process – continually exploring how to shape and articulate it cinematically,” Sode says.
