Masao Nakabori

The cinematography of Masao Nakabori, who presents cityscape and landscape via compositions reflecting Yumiko’s sorrow. Shots are held for longer than usual, and natural lighting is used distinctively– interior scenes are sometimes so dark that no detail can be discerned, and many exterior shots seem to have been captured during overcast days.

    POEM

    AKIO JISSOJI Japan, 1972

    Exploring the tensions between Eastern philosophy and Western modernity, this concluding part of Akio Jissôji’s spiritual trilogy is the New Wave iconoclast’s scathing critique of social power structures. An intimate, erotically-charged epic, Poem builds inexorably to its unforgettable final shot.
