AW: Self introduction + Representations of intoxication

[Jasper Sharp]

Hello Christiane,

Nice to meet you again too.
There's probably quite a lot out there if I think about it, but for the one that immediately springs to mind is Matango: Fungus of Terror, also known as Attack of the Mushroom People. You haven't lived until you've seen this film!
For now, you can content yourself with the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVyRYjJoZfc

Hello again,
 
thanks for your thoughts Roger. (Always nice 
to 'meet' you again.)
 
I'm afraid I should have been more precise when 
asking you about intoxication. Sorry about that. I'm mainly interested in the 
representation of the altered state of consciousness because of 
intoxication (by drugs, alcohol or any invented substance) or the cinematic 
excess, for example, when intoxication is used to reflect on the 
medium's materiality ... That's why I'm interested in scenes that entangle 
exterior and interior in some way and go beyond showing someone who is 
drunk or high. 
 
 
Best regards,
Christiane

Hi, Christiane,
Narrow world again!
I'm sure they'll be more than a few examples of 
intoxication, but here's what comes to mind immediately:-
Naruse's Bangiku, 1954;
The Nakadai character in Harada's Jubaku, 
1999;
They're defintely high on something in Matsumoto's Barano 
s?retsu, 
1969
Ichikawa brings on the drunks, but he makes quite a point 
of conveying K?da Rohan as a drinker 
in Ot?to;
Imamura 
also, but there's a definite intoxiction in ?janaika;
Kawamoto's 
Hana-ori, 1968;
Kurosawa's 
Yoidore 
tenshi, 1949;
Ogawa 
pro's Dokkoi!- 
Ningen bushi -kotobuki, 1975 also has a negative 
take;
Uchida's 
Koi 
ya Koi Nasuna Koi, 1962 is brilliant on the intoxication of love (but has anyone 
ever done it without 
tragedy?);
and 
two in your Nippon Connection, last year got 
legless:
Hirayama's 
Shaberedomo, 
shaberedomo, 2007
and 
at last, for better or worse, an intoxicated woman in Kumakiri's Non-ko, 
2008
best,
Roger

  Hello 
  everyone,
   
  after I 
  have been on this mailing list incognito for quite some time, I 
  think it's time for me to finally introduce myself:

  Main); research assistant (Department of Film Studies, Johannes 
  Gutenberg-University, Mainz)

  flows, ~ media convergence, ~ trauma, film festival research

  First of all, thank you all 
  for your insightful discussions, your notes on events, publications and 
  films on this list! Your 
  contributions have been pretty inspiring and motivating for 
  me. Hence, I wondered whether you could inspire me once 
  again:   
   
  At present I am working on a paper and am looking for 
  films containing representations of intoxication (or/ and drunkenness). I am especially 
  interested in sequences in which external and internal perspectives are 
  entangled. The only examples that I know are KAKUTO by ISEYA 
  Yusuke and DAYDREAM by TAKECHI 
  Tetsuji. I would really appreciate if you could help me out with 
  some further examples. 
   
   
  Best regards and many thanks in 
  advance,
   
  Christiane
