The Woman Who Wanted to Die

The 'aesthetics' of Yukio Mishima's suicide hovers over this dreamy film which presents a mirror to a society's obsession with death ! Sex, politics, the past and the present merge to form a hallucinatory melange of muffled desires and strangled emotions. Revolutionary 'trends' seep into the deep reserves of the personal and personal anxieties of people reflect a nation's anxieties. This is a film about 'reflection' and 'mirrors' play a crucial role here ! How we wish we could see our mirror images carrying out an action and baring it's consequences before we actually attempt it ! Watch out for the irreverent and sassy intrusion of 'rock and roll' in the delectable finale, in true 'new wave style' ! ;)
