In this late career film from Seijun Suzuki (BRANDED TO KILL, TOKYO DRIFTER), a professor and his unusual wandering friend engage in perambulations and love triangulations, all set to the keynote of a mysterious German classical music record.
KAGERO-ZA:
https://www.austinfilm.org/screening/...
In the second of Seijun Suzuki’s thematically linked but separate Taisho Trilogy, the maverick filmmaker proceeds even farther down the road of weird surrealism and metaphysical erotica. This is truly Suzuki unchained.
YUMEJI:
https://www.austinfilm.org/screening/...
The last in Seijun Suzuki’s thematically linked, but otherwise distinct Taisho Trilogy. This is Suzuki’s surrealism-inflected biopic of outsider artist Takehisa Yumeji, complete with hauntings and erotic obsession.
