His theoretical essays appeared first in the legendary dai-2-ji Eiga Hihyo edited by Matsuda Masao and were compiled later in the book entitled “Mitai eiga no koto dake o” (1977). Given the popularity of phenomenology today, wouldn’t it be nice paying some “serious” attention to his writing, in addition to his notorious obsession with DIY music :)? <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Naoki</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class="">Naoki Yamamoto</div><div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class="">Assistant Professor</div><div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class="">Film and Media Studies</div><div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class="">University of California, Santa Barbara</div><div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class=""><a href="mailto:yamamoto@filmandmedia.ucsb.edu" class="">yamamoto@filmandmedia.ucsb.edu</a></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Feb 11, 2018, at 8:22 PM, Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan <<a href="mailto:kinejapan@lists.osu.edu" class="">kinejapan@lists.osu.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div dir="auto" class="">agree, he shouldn’t sing!

Hara-san was known as the "tensai seishun santoku" back in the late 60s and early 70s, when he was making experimental films on 8mm and 16mm. After winning awards and garnering lots of press, writing his own criticism, Oshima tapped him to co-write The Man Who Left His Will on Film. Not long after that Hara kind of dropped from sight and finally came up for air with a new film at the 1993 Yamagata. He also showed his most famous work, First Emperor (Hatsukuni shiramikoto, 1973). Since then, he's been showing multi-screen, multi-format films with live music......regrettably he loves to sing, which is definitely not good for the films. Kaneko's film is somewhat messy—echoing Hara-san's own life?—but is still a fascinating look at an important director from the experimental world. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://youtu.be/sTWdnZNp-qM" target="_blank" class="">https://youtu.be/sTWdnZNp-qM</a><br class=""><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Markus</div><div class=""><span style="font-family:'Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro';font-size:x-small" class=""></span><br class=""><br clear="all" class=""><div class=""><div class="m_6842899981696906098gmail_signature"><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136)" class="">--- </span></div><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div style="font-size:small" class=""><font face="courier new, monospace" color="#274e13" class=""><b class=""><img src="https://drive.google.com/a/umich.edu/uc?id=1i0izwlsrcSvQgU4nMCzTLiOhmdDMm-xZ&export=download" width="56" height="96" class=""><br class=""></b></font></div><div style="font-size:small" class=""><font face="courier new, monospace" color="#274e13" class=""><b class="">Markus Nornes</b></font></div><div style="font-size:small" class=""><span style="font-family:"courier new",monospace" class=""><font color="#38761d" class=""><b class="">Professor of Asian Cinema</b></font></span></div><div class=""><font size="1" color="#38761d" class=""><font face="courier new, monospace" class="">Department of Screen Arts and Cultures</font><span style="font-family:"courier new",monospace" class="">, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, Penny Stamps </span><span style="font-family:"courier new",monospace" class="">School of Art & Design</span></font></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:small" class=""><font face="courier new, monospace" color="#6aa84f" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font face="courier new, monospace" size="1" color="#93c47d" class=""><b class="">Department of Screen Arts and Cultures</b></font></div><div class=""><font face="courier new, monospace" size="1" color="#93c47d" class=""><b class="">6348 North Quad</b></font></div><div class=""><font face="courier new, monospace" size="1" color="#93c47d" class=""><b class="">105 S.
