Since the conversation has turned to books, I thought I'd mention a new 
book on Adachi. It's a 500 (!) page interview with him, conducted by 
Hirasawa Go: Eiga / Kakumei (Wawade Shuppan, 2003). I covers all of 
Adachi's life, and in great, great detail; Hirasawa did his homework, 
and it shows in the questions and their follow-ups. Some of the most 
interesting parts cover his time in Palestine (he was shooting and 
writing, but lost everything in attacks), but one can learn a lot about 
the early experimental and movement cinema scenes from this book.
