Rina Sawayama Opens Up About 'John Wick 4' Role, Queer Rights, Asian Storylines in Cinema & Facing Stereotypes in 'Allure' Interview

On the importance of Asian storylines in cinema:

“When I was little, watching Asians onscreen meant Memoirs of a Geisha. In hindsight, I recognize that it was an exploitative movie. But we only had moments like that. And now, we’re in a great time for storytelling. With moments like what happened at the Oscars with Everything Everywhere All at Once. It’s an Asian story that won! A story about identity, it’s not just about the immigrant experience. It’s about queerness, as well. It makes you fall in love with filmmaking.”
