Shuji Terayama

[Roland Domenig]

roberta novielli has written an article (in english) about terayama's filmic
work for the catalogue of the ATG-retrospective in vienna, which was showing
all three feature films that terayama made with ATG. in addition, steve
clark has, as already mentioned, written new kaisetsu for all three films.
if you can read italian as well, i am sure you will find more from roberta
in italian. 
the japan foundation's culture center in cologne was showing a near-complete
terayama retrospective last july and published a small booklet (although in
german).

> I am writing an article about four films by Shuji Terayama:

> Emperor Tomato Ketchup
> Throw Away Your Books,Rally in the Streets
> Pastoral: To Die in the Country
> Farewell to the Ark

> I've not had much luck while doing research for this article (i.e., have not

> little about the films, especially the two early ones. I won't bore the rest
