I’ve seen it twice, clocked in at about 4 hours. I like the film very much, and at the same time I really, really, really find his inability to hold a note grating. I can admire the DIY spirit behind it, as well as some compelling songwriting. But the minute he starts singing I want to flee the theater. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Mon, Feb 12, 2018 at 11:10 AM Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan <<a href="mailto:kinejapan@lists.osu.edu">kinejapan@lists.osu.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Just a note, but please do not share this Youtube link with others.

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><br></div><div><a href="https://youtu.be/sTWdnZNp-qM" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/sTWdnZNp-qM</a><br><div><div><br></div><div>Markus</div><div><span style="font-family:'Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro';font-size:x-small"></span><br><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_6842899981696906098gmail_signature"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136)">--- </span></div><div><div><div><div><div style="font-size:small"><font face="courier new, monospace" color="#274e13"><b><img src="https://drive.google.com/a/umich.edu/uc?id=1i0izwlsrcSvQgU4nMCzTLiOhmdDMm-xZ&export=download" width="56" height="96"><br></b></font></div><div style="font-size:small"><font face="courier new, monospace" color="#274e13"><b>Markus Nornes</b></font></div><div style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:"courier new",monospace"><font color="#38761d"><b>Professor of Asian Cinema</b></font></span></div><div><font size="1" color="#38761d"><font face="courier new, monospace">Department of Screen Arts and Cultures</font><span style="font-family:"courier new",monospace">, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, Penny Stamps </span><span style="font-family:"courier new",monospace">School of Art & Design</span></font></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:small"><font face="courier new, monospace" color="#6aa84f"><br></font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace" size="1" color="#93c47d"><b>Department of Screen Arts and Cultures</b></font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace" size="1" color="#93c47d"><b>6348 North Quad</b></font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace" size="1" color="#93c47d"><b>105 S.
