 Ryu Murakami's 'Tokyo Decadence', and early Koji Wakamatsu ('Kabe no Naka
no Hije'/'Secret Acts Between Four Walls'/'Skeleton in the Closet', 1965, is
a good example)

He appears in a cameo as a stuffed doll in 'Kurotokage' (Kinji Fukasaku
1968), and he wrote the stage adaptation on which the film is based. (I'm
just seeing how many times in a day I can mention this film at the moment)

Lastly, is there a study on or reference to the relation between Japanese
directors and George Batailles' novellas?

Please excuse me if I am recycling questions that are already exhausted in
the list, but I was not able to find any past postings that concern my
interests in the archive of "memorable threads."  Thank you in advance for
illumination on rather abrupt and incoherent inquiry.
