Self introduction + Representations of intoxication

[Roger Macy]

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 soretsu, 1969
Ichikawa brings on the drunks, but he makes quite a point of conveying Koda Rohan as a drinker in Ototo;
Imamura also, but there's a definite intoxiction in Ejanaika;
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:  

  Name: Christiane Borchert
  Institutional affiliation or job: Programmer for film and cultural sections (Nippon Connection. Japanese Film Festival, Frankfurt am Main); research assistant (Department of Film Studies, Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz)
  City and country: Frankfurt am Main/ Mainz, Germany

  Research projects or publications: Master's thesis on the dissolution of boundaries in the Boys' Love phenomenon (at an early stage)

  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
