There, during the 1990s, he made several internationally acclaimed documentaries.

Since then, he has been nominated for several international awards, such as the Oscar for Best International Foreign Film for Shoplifters (2018), a film that also earned the Japanese director the Palme D'or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. His most recent film Broker (2018) won the Best Actor award at this year's Cannes Film Festival and is part of the official selection of the LEFFEST.
