Japanese director drawn to China's 'charm'

"I can see that the door of the Chinese film industry is now wide open," says Japanese film director Yojiro Takita as he sits on a sofa in a Beijing hotel.

After attending the opening ceremony of the Asian Film and TV Week at the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the city on May 16, he spent a few minutes discussing the vitality of China's movie industry.

"I'm becoming more and more attracted to the history and charm of China," Takita says in the interview.
