Ishii Teruo's Kyofu Kikei Ningen

[Stefan Nutz]

Bruce,

"Kyofu kikei ningen" will be released this summer on DVD in the US by Synapse. Uncut and with tons of extras. 
Maybe Marc can give us more information?

best,

Stefan

  Dear colleagues,


  I read in the Midnight Eye that Ishii Teruo's "Kyofu kikei ningen" has never been released for mass consumption.  I wonder if anyone has a tip on how I might see this film, or connections to someone who can screen it for me.


  Best,


  Bruce


  PS. Some months ago, there was a question on this forum about buto dancers in films, so you might be interested in Min Tanaka's new film "Umihiko yamahiko maihiko" about him dancing across Indonesia.  I just saw it last night at Theater N in Shibuya.  Its a pretty interesting and amazing film in a lot of ways.  I think its playing for the rest of June.  Its not subtitled, but some information is given simultaneously in English and Japanese. More info at: www.maihiko.com
