【亞洲電影巡迴放映：《長夜盡頭的微光》——照亮同路的𥌓光｜Asian Cinerama: ‘All The Long Nights’ —— The Light In Your Eyes】
在「亞洲電影巡迴放映」《長夜盡頭的微光》的放映活動上，導演三宅唱分享了他溫和且寧靜的電影製作風格背後的理念。雖然電影以一名年輕男子和女子為主角，但三宅唱明確表示這非愛情電影，而是探討工作和就業本質，人們如何才能幸福地工作這些核心問題的電影。
儘管主角都患有令人感到痛苦的病，電影刻意避免了激烈或戲劇化的刻畫。三宅解釋說，選擇以溫柔和平靜的方式呈現他們的生活，是因為角色最深切的願望是過著普通人的生活，能夠隨心所慾地控制自己的情緒。於是電影這樣賦予他們一絲平靜。
聲音和音樂在《長夜盡頭的微光》的創作過程中扮演了重要角色。獲第18屆亞洲電影大獎最佳原創音樂提名Hi’Spec形容與三宅唱的合作是一種愉快的經歷，兩人的共同願景是創造富有溫柔旋律的氛圍。由於主角亦是聲優，三宅唱對他們迷人的聲音讚嘆不已，甚至增加了更多的台詞和獨白，讓他們的聲音成為焦點。
At the Asian Cinerama screening of ‘All the Long Nights,’ director MIYAKE Sho shared insights into his gentle and peaceful approach to filmmaking. Despite focusing on a young man and woman, MIYAKE clarified that the film was not intended to be romantic. Instead, it examines the nature of work and employment, exploring how individuals can find fulfillment and satisfaction in their professional lives.
Although the protagonists endure painful conditions, the film deliberately avoids explosive or dramatic portrayals. MIYAKE explained that the decision to depict their lives with tenderness and serenity reflects their deepest wish: to live as ordinary people, capable of controlling their emotions. The film, in turn, grants them a sense of peace through its storytelling.
Sound and music played a pivotal role in crafting ‘All the Long Nights.’ AFA18 Best Original Music nominee Hi’Spec described collaborating with MIYAKE as a joyful experience, as their shared vision focused on creating a tender, melodic atmosphere. Since the lead characters are voice actors, Sho was captivated by their beautiful voices, even writing additional lines and monologues to give their voices a center stage.
