Abstract
This paper is a study of the spatial representations depicted in the films of the Japanese filmmaker Shinji Somai (1948–2001), who often used long takes. This study examines the characteristics of the long takes in his works. On the one hand, the spaces are rigorously constructed in order to integrate several elements into the scenes, but at the same time, spatial complexities and contradictions, which may be regarded as deconstructed spaces, are considered to appear. Moreover, the analogy between the spaces in films and architecture is discussed.
