now this is a gem which I recommend to everyone who seek pure art cinema, by which I don’t mean the things critics tell you to see these days, but a pure unappreciated and lost masterpiece of japanese true underground cinema, far more groundbreaking in form than their new wave. this film is not even known much in japan itself; a magnificent game of forms, of shadow and silence.
