A director looking back
Lee Dong-jin organizes this conversation around eight films, from After Life to Monster. The creator’s chapter list moves through individual works rather than presenting a single overview of Kore-eda’s career. The full source runs 46 minutes 38 seconds; the player here stops after the opening 30 seconds.
How to watch the full interview with English subtitles
Translator is a desktop app that lets you download videos, add translated subtitles, and watch them in your language. Here's the workflow:
- Paste the YouTube URL — Copy the video link and paste it into Translator's download field.
- Download the video — Translator pulls down the video and any available captions. This is free and happens on your machine.
- Transcribe or translate — Check the language and coverage of the available captions before translating. The full interview includes Korean and Japanese speech. You can transcribe missing speech with AI, review the result, and translate it using Stage5 credits or your own supported API key.
- Watch with subtitles you control — The app plays the video with your translated subtitles. You can edit the timing, fix translations, choose subtitle styles, and export the final SRT file.
Downloaded videos and editing stay on your computer. AI transcription, translation, and dubbing send the required audio or text to Stage5 and/or your selected AI providers for processing.
What's free, what's paid
- Free: Downloading videos, managing your library, editing subtitles manually, and exporting SRT files.
- Paid: AI transcription and translation. You can use Stage5 credits (example: $1 for ~50 minutes, $10 for ~18 hours) or unlock BYO once for $10 and bring your own API key from OpenAI or Anthropic to pay them directly.
A chapter guide and a subtitle check
In the original video, After Life begins at 05:27, Nobody Knows at 11:34, Shoplifters at 39:23 and Monster at 42:40. Use those chapter points to find a discussion of a film you know; they are positions in the full source, beyond this page’s sample.
For translated captions, distinguish Lee’s Korean questions from Kore-eda’s Japanese replies. Keep each film title consistent with its released title in the language you are reading. A Korean source label or the opening sample does not establish the spoken language of every later answer.
